Thompson & Morgan Peony Frame Heavy Duty Herbaceous Plant Support Ring Perennial Flower Border Cage (1 Peony Frame)

Product Information

The problem with staking is that you may need rather a lot of them to support all the stems in larger clumps, or where a large number of peonies are grown. What I love about these more decorative ones is even when the peonies are dormant the supports look beautiful in the garden beds. Planting potted peonies is a great way to get a bit of a head start on growing these beautiful plants. These fluted supports allow peony clumps to develop and sit more naturally, catering to their growth and form.

Place the tomato cage upside down on a flat surface. Using the bolt cutters cut just below the bottom ring. (though it looks to be the top ring, remember this is upside down for working on) Ideal for peonies, but can be used with lots of other flowering plants such as tulips, alliums, delphinium, lupins and more If a collection needs to be arranged, this will be made for a weekday only, between standard working hours. If you are not able to be at home when the collection is to be made, we can arrange for goods to be collected from a safe location at your request. One popular type of encircling support structure for peonies are cage supports which are not cylindrical in shape, but taper from the base out to a wider circumference at the top.You can often see them in my Secret Garden tour videos. I just would place a 4-inch terra-cotta pot over the legs at the top for decorative purposes. Exclusively designed and manufactured by us in the UK, these attractive plant supports use quality 8mm gauge steel rods making them very strong and durable which is why we offer a 5 YEAR STRUCTURAL GUARANTEE.

Height is from the bottom of the feet to the top ring -designed to be pushed 10-20cm into the ground depending on the plant being supported The cone-shaped supports are manufactured from 6mm solid steel wire and they are also ideal for Daisies, verbascum etc. However, using supports of some kind for herbaceous peonies can potentially help you avoid disappointment later in the growing season, and prolong the duration for which you can enjoy the beautiful peony blooms. Support Options To ConsiderHerbaceous peonies usually require some kind of support, while intersectional and shrub-like tree peonies can often manage without it. Supports may not always be essential, and you may be able to get away without them if you are growing shorter cultivars or are growing them in a particularly sheltered spot. Keep the portion you cut off, this can still be used to support things in your garden, even smaller peony bushes. (if planting from peonies bare-root it can take a few years for them to fill in) Supporting Peonies when Flowering Trim your peonies after they’re done blooming to remove the dead flowers, and give the plants a nice shape for the summer.
