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

Product Information

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.

The best time to provide support for your peony bushes is before they need it, meaning early Spring. 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. Many peonies will benefit from some kind of support, to prevent breakage to the stems and damage in winds or heavy rains.

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.

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. Some are pricier than others. Gardeners Supply has some that are just beautiful but way out of my budget. 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. As the peony begins to emerge in the spring sunshine, push the three-legged cone well into the soil to provide ‘all-round’ protection from wind and rain. Every true gardener knows, peonies love the sun and hate too much water.
