Explored various plant supports across the web to enhance garden aesthetics - these stakes and obelisks promise striking garden edges.
Deck your garden out in style and keep those beautiful blooms standing tall with these kickass plant supports. Whether you've got flowers that flop, climbing plants, or joyful fruit and veggies, these durable mofos will get the job done.
Flower Support Station
1. Go Big with Sturdy Grow-through Rings
Behold the genius of grow-through rings (Elegance Round Grow Through Frames)—the Wonderbras of the horticultural world. Ideal for top-heavy flowers like peonies or dahlias, grow-through supports allow the plant to weave its way through the grid, gently supporting blooms skyward. Bonus points: the leaves often hide the support itself.
2. Get Netty with Cut Flowers
When dealing with an army of flower stalks, you need to go big on support. Netting (e.g., Sarah Raven's Natural Jute Netting) works a treat for lighter blooms like phlox or cornflowers. Secure the netting taught and snug, watching pigeons closely—those birds love to perch on twine for a perfect photo opp.
For bigger, bolder blooms like dahlias or multi-headed sunflowers (try the delectable Vanilla Ice variety[, £1.49]), frame up a bamboo grid for an easy, reusable option. You'll slay this DIY Divas challenge like a boss.
3. Uplift Pot-bound Blossoms
For small-space garden vibes, mini supports or frames can elevate your container planting (e.g., Ivyline Outdoor Pot Plant Support) and open up a world of growing possibilities. Flaunt your style with dwarf sweet peas (Thompson & Morgan[, 99p]) standing tall and proud.
4. Gentle Encouragement: Bamboo & Jute String
Do you have a plant that looks a teensy bit vulnerable? For gentle guidance, bamboo and jute string will crack some whips and help your plant stand proud. Tie 'em up and watch them grow! Peruse your local gardening superstore for premium picks like these Verve Bamboo Canes.
