10 Ways to Support Floppy Plants Using Stakes, Twine, and Purchased Plant Supports
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- As summer nears it's mid-point, many flowering plants begin to flop over, driven by wind, rain, and weight of their blooms. Supporting them can make all the difference in how your garden looks, and the health of the plants. It's easy using purchased plant supports, or a simple combination of garden stakes and twine. Join Rosanne as she takes you around parts of her garden, and in between segments, shares what's blooming in her garden now.
In addition to local garden centers, my favorite online sources for garden supports:

If you aren't featured in any of those "Garden magazines or pertaining too" You ought to be. The world would certainly enjoy and learn alot from!
Thanks Gina. Nice of you to say that.😊
Ditto! Such a unique, manicured garden space at a relatable scale.
Great video Rosanne, I can certainly use some of your tips in my garden. One thing I do with twine is to wet it first before tying, gives it a tighter knot and doesn't slip whilst trying to tie the knot.
Glad you enjoyed the video! And, great tip about the twine. Thanks!
Thank you Rosanne for the tips. You are a beauty among other beauties in your garden.
Thank you. That is very sweet of you to say 😊🌺🌿!
We watch a garden video nearly ever night with you being a favorite. My wife always ask to check your channel for a new video. We were inspired by you to plant many Calla Lily for the first time this year in our zone 7B. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and garden!
I am so flattered 🥰! Thank you for letting me know. My husband and I ALSO love to watch gardening shows. We love Gardeners' World (BBC) or Beechgrove Gardens (BBC). I am so pleased to hear about the Calla Lilies. How great is that?!? I do hope you have the most beautiful blooms! All the best in gardening! 🌹🌼❤️🌿🌺
I absolutely love your garden! It's so magical!
Thank you Theresa! 😊
We love sharing our garden. 🌿🌺
Not only is your garden beautiful, but your voice is very soothing. Thank you for sharing your garden and tips!
Thank you! I'm glad you find the videos soothing. Some people like my voice, others not so much 😕. It is what what I have been given 🌺🌿🌹.
Rosanne, always so informative and peaceful. Thank you.
Thank you Beth! So glad you enjoyed it. 🌼
What a much needed video. Thank you !! Lovely garden.
Thank you! I'm so pleased you think so (both on the video and the garden!).
Rosanne Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your tips are so so helpful. Bless you, your family and your beautiful plants.
Thank you so much. That is very kind of you to say. I'm so glad you found the video helpful! 😊🌿🌹
At least your stone rabbits don't eat your lovely plants! I noticed the chicken wire. Thanks for great tips and showing us around again, it's beautiful. 😊
Yes, we have lots of bunnies, real and otherwise! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Your garden is beautiful and you have such creative and helpful tips!
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say!😊
Learning tips #1- #10 and enjoying the beautiful garden again in between!!
😊. Glad to hear it! 🌼🌹🌿
You are so sweet Rosanne! And your garden is beautiful and meticulous!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos! 🌹☺️🌼
So happy to see your new post! Just letting you know I made a doorframe climbing with love in a puff!
Wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that! My Love in a Puff just recently started taking off. Pokey at first, and then, wow. Thanks for letting me know!
Loved your tip about putting the Sedums in the ring. I will try it today as my Sedum look as if something sat in the middle of them!
Hi Sharon. Glad you fond the video helpful. Those Sedum...they just love to get lazy and lie down. ☺️
Never thought to use twine for plants. What a great idea. Will be using twice this next garden season. Love your garden areas . Great video.
Thanks! Glad you found the video helpful! It's amazing what some string and a few poles can do in the garden 😉🌿
You are my favorite gardener on RUclips! So much inspiration! Keep up the videos! 😍😍
Wow, thank you! I hope I won't disappoint! 🌺
Fantastic Rosanne! Always learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your garden and experience. 💚
Thank you Melissa! I'm so glad you picked up some tidbits from the video! 🌺🌿🤗
Informative video thank you and a total enjoyment admiring your beautiful flowers.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🌷🌿🙂
It's always such a treat to find a new video! 4 o'clocks seem to flop more now than when I was a child and remember them from my grandmother's garden. Funnily enough I was out adding more support in the garden today, my perennial sunflowers from my grandmother's garden always need lots of support., the reason I grow them along our veg garden fence, a little twine and they're done. Happy gardening!
Aren't heirloom plants the best? My Golden Glow Rudbeckia are also from my grandmothers garden, but I don't recall if or how she supported them. And, the 4 o'clock seeds were from my cousin. I just love those old plants. But, I never heard of perennial sunflowers! At least not here in Zone 4. Hmm, maybe that's why 🤔.
Thank You Rosanne I love your Garden you are a Beautiful Lady :)
Thank you! That is very sweet of you to say! 🌿😊🌹
This is the most useful video I have watched recently. I am going to implement some of these suggestions in my garden. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 🌺
I will have to try 4o clocks! Those rubekias as well. I am always so glad when new videos from you appear!
As always, nice to hear from you! Glad you picked up some new plant ideas! 🌹.
4 o'clock smell heavenly too!
Great timing, I was just looking at some things in my garden that are going to need some support. I’ll have to look for some of those half hoops for my Annabelle hydrangea, it’s looking gorgeous now but one heavy rain and it’s all over for them 😅
Yep, some Hydrangea just need a little help! I do love the half-rounds for them. Happy gardening to you! 🌺
Your garden is looking gorgeous, Roseanne! These are all great plant support tips. Like a lot of gardeners I always think I have more time before I need to put in the stakes or hoops or cages, etc. 😂 Glad to see the golden glow rudbeckia again …it is the sunniest and happiest flower I can think of! Thank you for the video.
Greetings Jennifer! Isn't that the truth? I often wait too long before putting on plant supports. But, the plants look so good once they are supported. Glad you liked the Rudbeckia! It got the starring thumbnail this time 😊!
Wonderful ideas especially for newbies! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
This was a very helpful video, full of information and ideas. Your presentation was soothing and focused. Thank you!
I'm so pleased you fund the video helpful! (and soothing!)
I wish I had done more staking this year. It's getting a bit late to round up those wayward stems and flowers.
So excited to see you sharing your garden and knowledge with us. Thank you
Thank you! We love sharing our Garden. 🌿🌺🌼
Another helpful video! Thanks Rosanne!
😊🌷🌿🌸 Glad you liked it!
Great tips and a great resource to save in my Garden Folder.
Thanks! Glad you found the video helpful.
Yes.! Very helpful, like a conversation.
Thank you Deborah! Glad you found the video helpful.
Enjoyable! My green wire is often the twist tie off a loaf of bread 😋
I get it! If the green wire weren't hanging on a stand by the cash register, as one is waiting to check out, I probably wouldn't own any either 😉.
Your garden is beautiful beautiful and you always have so much great tips. Wish you did more regular videos 🙂
Thank you! Glad to hear you are enjoying my videos and appreciate the tips. I really don't know how other gardeners can do so many great videos...they must have so much energy!
First I would thank you for a such informative vedio.
Secondly you have an amazing garden. Very delightful.
I am in UK and we dont have big gardens here. I am lucky that I have a manageable garden and I love flowers. I have the problem which you have talked about 'tall plants falling over ' . Thanks a lot . I have definitely picked up some ideas and adopt them in my garden as it's very windy at times.
Thanks again
Greetings to the UK! I'm so pleased you found this video helpful. These days, toward the end of summer (at least here), the garden can start looking a bit messy, but staking definitely helps! I hope you've had a chance to see some of my other videos, with much better views of the garden. 🌹
These are all great ideas for supports. I haven’t seen most of these. So glad to learn something new. Also, I am growing love in a puff this year inspired by you! I didn’t have success sowing indoors, but it sowed well outdoors.
Glad you found the video helpful! And, glad to hear your Love in a Puff seeds did well sown outdoors. It's actually good to learn that - it makes it so much easier when Mother Nature wants to take charge. I'm so pleased you were inspired by mine!
I love your videos and I’ve learned quite a bit from them. I’m a beginner gardener and really enjoyed this video with all the support suggestions. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. Your entire garden is beautiful including your shed❣️👏☘️💖
Greetings Maria! I'm so pleased to hear that you're enjoying and learning from my channel. We all were beginners once; all it takes is the desire to learn. Keep it up! 🌹
Thank you for showing the golden glow Rudbeckia for 20 years I've been calling it "The farm flower" as it came from our original property farmstead. Now it finally has a name! I have used tomato cages and also plant a wild false sunflower with it for support. This coming season I believe I will but a circle of "Romance asters" around the cluster. Of course by spring I just might change my mind!
Yay! Your flower now has a name. I've heard some people also refer to it as "The outhouse flower" because they were frequently planted next to outhouses. I guess it makes sense. I imagine tomato cages would work well. My grandmother grew these against her garage. I do not recall if she supported them, however.
They are definitely an "old-time" flower. On another topic, it looks like you have a Newfoundland next to you in your thumbnail. We have a black lab, a descendant of Newfies. Both are wonderful dogs....
Stunning garden Rosanne...thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
I use string that match the leaves also..That way you can't tell their tied...
Yes, green string certainly looks better! As always, thanks for watching and commenting!
Your garden is absolutely stunning!
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you! I’m so happy you are enjoying our garden. 🌼🌿🌹
Lots of great tips at the perfect time of year, thanks. Really like those l shaped Ines on the calla. Gonna see if I can find them in the uk 😊
So nice to hear from you! 🌹 Glad you enjoyed the tips! I don't know if they ship to the UK, but here's a link to where we probably purchased them.

Glad to hear that! Thanks! 🌹
Very helpful.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great advice on staking. I want to plant a five foot row of dahlias, in front of a hedge, in a very sunny site. I would like to have a tiered effect, and am now thinking about pounding two painted 2 x 6’s into the ground and either running bird netting or chicken wire between. You also have given me insight into arranging supports way before they are needed.
Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful. A row of tall dahlias in front of a hedge sounds lovely. Have fun with your project 🌺!
Thank you...
You're welcome!
Another great video with lots of useful tips and info. Where did you purchase your garden shed wall organizer? It's the nicest one I have ever seen.
Hi Corey! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! The wall organizer is "Schulte", but I think they may have been acquired as I really can't find much that they make online anymore. But, the principle of the system (a wall mount and removable hooks, shelves, etc.) is like this one. $$ though.

Nice hearing from you! 🌹
Nice
Thx.
Hi Rosanne 😊 I certainly did!! Excellent info as always, and you keep yourself so fit and trim. You look great, my friend!
I'd like to know where you find all these or some of your stakes. I have Beebalm and Columbine now growing in the ground that I had in containers last year. I see what they do, as in growing wildly huge! I'm not sure what type of stake is best...for next year perhaps. I keep tying twine around them but , isn't the answer!!
How is your Clematis Paniculata doing? Mine is showing growth. Probably because of the Rains and Tons of Humidity we've had here in IL. I'm glad it's lifted however 🙌 I can breathe again!!!
Blah, blah, blah. Love and hugs always!
Hi Gina, Nice to hear from you! Your question reminded me to add some of my favorite sources to the video description. But, in general, my go-to online garden sources are (in addition to local garden centers):
- gardeners.com
- gardenersedge.com
- kinsmangarden.com
Their assortment changes from year to year, so I'm not sure what they are carrying now. Hopefully, the supports are new and improved! I did find the best value for garden stakes on Amazon. Here's that link: www.amazon.com/dp/B085TFVYW6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details
I liked that they all sorts of lengths.
My clematis paniculata is probably right where yours is...about 7 or 8 inches tall and it looks like it's ready to start taking off. Yes! the rain and lower temps seemed to have revived everything a bit. I feel sorry for the West.
Till next time! 🌹
@@RosannesGarden Thank you kindly!
Cool
Thanks 🌼
Hi Roseanne I saw your videos by accident and I am a gardener in Massachusetts very helpful and good for me thanks for being so helpful you're the best . pretty t o o!
Greetings to Massachusetts! I'm glad you found my channel, and found it helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting. My apologies for the very tardy response! Happy holidays!
Like your use of stone rabbits mixed in with the plants. Do you keep these out all year?
Glad you like the bunnies! Every fall, I give them a scrub and store them in our shed. Some have developed small cracks and the snow and freezing Temps would shorten their lives.
Can you please share the link to the interlocking L-shaped support stales. Thank you! Beautiful garden!
Hi, we bought ours from Gardener's Supply some years back. It looks like they have a new version that are curved. I actually think that's an improvement over our straight ones. Here's their link:
www.gardeners.com/buy/curved-linking-plant-stakes/8609632.html?VariationId=P_5637149574&channable=41187569640033352d32343074&g_acctid=543-582-4261&g_adgroupid=&g_adid=&g_adtype=none&g_campaign=%5BPLA%5D+%5BPMax%5D+Plant+Supports+%7BMidwest%7D&g_campaignid=17694320798&g_keyword=&g_keywordid=&g_network=x&SC=GGLPLA&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwISlBhD6ARIsAESAmp7I0IzPoxFau-csQYRIXnFHsq7UKCelJuNOFtezBqrgqsPXXoZs-foaAiobEALw_wcB
Good luck!
So many good tips!! A question though - I have some very voluptuous peonies. However, when it rains, they become so top heavy, that they just all flop over. Which of your staking methods would I use? Also, how often should they be divided?
Thanks! For supporting Peonies, I use a sectioned support (#2 at about 3:00 in the video) placed about 18 inches off the ground. I do this when the Peonie is only about a foot high so that the stems and leaves can grow freely through the support. Once the Peony grows, the support becomes totally invisible, but yet it lends help keeping the stems from flopping over due to the weight of the blooms. As to dividing, and according the the University of Minnesota Extension, Peonies rarely need to be divided; maybe every 10 years or more. In general, the plant does not like to have it's roots disturbed. I have not divided mine. Hope this helps!
I just love the Rudbeckia flowers in your garden. I have been looking to buy Rudbeckia Laciniata Hortensia seeds online, but have not found a good source. May I ask where did you buy your seeds from? Thank you.
Hi! Thanks! I have heard from others that seeds are hard to come by. I'm sorry to hear that as it is such a great plant. I got my plants from cuttings many years ago, so I'm afraid I can't be of that much help. I've heard maybe Etsy? Good luck!
I love a good metal plant support but boy are they expensive where I live. I would love to have a good collection of them.
Yes, metal supports can be pricey. Stakes and twine can do wonders.
Rossanne, I love you Calla Lillies but I'm confused with information I found regarding Calla Lillies, do they do better in shaded areas or do they like sunny spots?
Hi, Great question. For me, I find that my Callas are tolerant of a variety of conditions, which is one of their positive attributes. However, I find they like sun the best, IF they have enough water. They do like to be moist. Sunny and dry has not worked well in my experience. As a compromise, they do well in partial shade/dappled shade, because I think the ground doesn't dry out as quickly. I do have some growing in a shady area, but they are not that happy. They tend to get leggy and produce more foliage than blooms. But, the foliage is really nice anyway. Hope that helps.
Also, there is sun and there is sun. For example, morning sun is quite a bit cooler than hot afternoon sun. I'd say they like morning sun, or eastern exposure best.
I like your clogs. Can you tell me about them?
Hi, They were a bit prominent in one scene, weren't they 😉 . They are actually chef clogs. Here's a link.
klogsfootwear.com/edge-black/?sku=00100186002M090&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiqWHBhD2ARIsAPCDzakKdy4BId2hK7ZhPpK6wNNU7ULfmcw9Tj0Tr9UvzqIT7AcSSKSS4tcaAvkoEALw_wcB
How tall are the hydrangea supports?
I do the same with green twine
Yes! Green twine sure does look better. I thought this would show up better in the film. This year, I'm back to green 😉.
@@RosannesGarden doesn’t matter your garden is so beautiful,greetings from Australia 👍😀🌺
Hollyhocks? Do they need staking? I just ordered several. Any ideas would be hrlpful
Hi, I've never grown Hollyhocks, but have always liked their look. From my experience with Delphiniums, I would expect Hollyhocks to need staking. I would follow the same guidance as with Delphiniums - stake before they start tipping and give them plenty of room for the stalks to move around in the wind, so they don't snap. Hollyhocks are biennial, meaning they only grow foliage in the first year, flower in the second and then die. Therefore, it's important to let the seeds fall, so that they can germinate and new plants will come up every year. That said, the variety you ordered may bloom in the first year, as more and more cultivars being developed are changing past norms. Good luck!
HI Rosanne: Do you have a plant support for Oriental Poppies? thanks
I love Poppies, but have not had much success growing them (soil?) . Therefore, I can't speak from experience, but I would think a single stake with loose twine (so the stem of the Poppie can move with the wind) would work. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful. Single stakes and some twine work wonders. Good luck!
Eden eden eden bravo super beautiful lady România 🇦🇩
Thank you! 🌿
floppy plants are the worst! like @fayahjudah I use the same coloured string
Glad you agree. Green string is definitely better!
👍
