While its quite normal for plants to droop a little over the season, if you have a particularly top heavy flower, it can be frustrating watching them dive towards the earth. Peonies are classic blooms for this sort of thing: their blousy, beautiful flowers can often overpower their stems. There are plenty of ways of stopping your peonies from drooping down, and peony supports are a good place to start. Another way to support peonies is with plant support hoops, which completely encircle a peony clump and provide it with some support. If you're interested in a bit of DIY, head to our piece on how to make your own plant supports, but if you don't have the time, and you like the trend for metal rusty peony supports, then below is our list of our favourite peony supports. You might also consider creating rings or lines of stakes around a clump, or several peony clumps, with natural twine or other strings between them. 2) Plant Support Hoops 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.

The most sustainable and eco-friendly solutions are those using natural or reclaimed materials, which you may already have lying around.

The cone-shaped supports are manufactured from 6mm solid steel wire and they are also ideal for Daisies, verbascum etc. 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?

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.

Black Herbaceous Peony Plant Support

This peony plant support is for you, especially if you prefer your peonies not be eclipsed by expensive, overly decorative plant supports. Protect your peonies from inclement weather When first installed, they will be noticeable and if they are attractive, all the better, but ideally the plant should grow into the structure and be barely noticeable by flowering time. 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.
