But don’t worry if you forgot, you can still stake your peonies after the flowers have opened, and save them from crashing to the ground. More About Flower Gardening Herbaceous peonies usually require some kind of support, while intersectional and shrub-like tree peonies can often manage without it. In late spring, peonies erupt all over the city. It seems that every second house has one in the garden, and it’s no wonder; their blooms are one of the biggest and most stunning to arrive in the spring. If you’re one of the many people who love peonies, then you know just how beautiful they can be! These flowers are easy to grow and tough in many garden zones. These fluted supports allow peony clumps to develop and sit more naturally, catering to their growth and form.
This year, I am so excited to add another peony, this one a gorgeous hot pink color … Edulis Superba. Cut your peony down to the ground in late fall or after frost has killed the leaves (don’t cut it down in the spring or summer or it may not bloom next spring)! Since they are such early spring growers, it’s best to cut down peonies in the fall after hard frost has killed the foliage. This also helps prevent pests and disease. Simply cut the plant all the way down to the ground. Delivery is Mainland UK and excludes The Highlands and Isle of Wight, Isle of man and Channel Islands.Peonies are meant for cutting so don’t be afraid to clip them and bring them inside using a clean, sharp pair of shears (these are my favorite pruning shears). Many peonies will benefit from some kind of support, to prevent breakage to the stems and damage in winds or heavy rains.
Many have tall stems and large flower heads, so you may be wondering whether or not you need to install supports for the peonies you have chosen. Do Peonies Need Support? Step 1: Position a plant stake a few inches away from the rootball, then use your hammer or rubber mallet to drive the it into the ground. 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.Peony cages should be installed in early spring when tender new growth first appears from the ground.
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. I’ll share with you what peony supports are popular with gardeners and, my personal favourite, peony chairs! 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. Made in Britain — These peony cages are handcrafted to the highest British standards in our West Sussex workshop. The most sustainable and eco-friendly solutions are those using natural or reclaimed materials, which you may already have lying around.
Tomato Cage Diy
Some are pricier than others. Gardeners Supply has some that are just beautiful but way out of my budget. You can use a stake and twine or hoop to keep your peony plants upright as they grow and give them additional support.
If you have a balcony or porch, you can grow cherry or grape tomatoes there. These small fruited plants grow much better in containers than larger slicing tomatoes and their long, ropey vines grow over container edges.

Herbaceous Cloche
When the gardening season comes to an end, many gardeners are left with a surplus of tomato cages. These metal or plastic cages were once filled with green plants and ripe tomatoes, but now they are empty and taking up space in the garage or shed. But don’t toss them out just yet! There are a few things you can do with old tomato cages that will make them useful for years to come. One option is to use them as support for other plants. Tall perennials like delphiniums and foxgloves can benefit from a little extra support, and tomato cages are the perfect size. Just insert the cages into the ground around the plants and tie them to the main stem for added stability. If you don’t have any plants that need support, you can repurpose your tomato cages as trellises for climbing vines. Sweet peas, morning glories, and clematis all need something to climb on, and tomato cages provide the perfect solution. Just tie the vines to the cage as they grow and watch them take off! Finally, if you’re really not sure what to do with your old tomato cages, you can always donate them to a local community garden or farm. They’ll be put to good use and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping out a worthy cause. When purchasing a peony cage, it is important to keep in mind the size of your peonies as they require plenty of space and air circulation to grow.
