Made in Britain — These peony cages are handcrafted to the highest British standards in our West S...Made in Britain — These peony cages are handcrafted to the highest British standards in our West Sussex workshop. Our solid steel peony cage is the perfect answer for those looking for attractive and effective support for larger outdoor plant life, especially where a standard shaped plant support cage just won't do. In addition to peonies, this convenient plant support ring works well with roses and any other larger perennials. The cage’s sturdy legs are strong enough to simply push into the ground without buckling or bending. Choose the finish to best suit your style. Go with either a plastic-coated frame that will stay fresh and new looking without the worry of rust for years to come, or pick the raw finish, which will allow the rusting process to develop naturally for a pretty, weathered aesthetic. No assembly required — You don’t have to worry about fiddling with spanners or screws. Your peony cage will arrive as a solid piece of raw or plastic-coated steel.

FAQs
Do I need to assemble the peony cage?
No, the Garden Pride Heavy Duty Peony Cage arrives fully assembled and ready to be placed in your garden.
What is the difference between the plastic-coated and raw steel finishes?
The plastic-coated finish is designed to be rust-free and maintain its appearance for years, often in green or black. The raw steel finish is designed to rust naturally over time, developing a weathered, antique look that many find appealing in a garden setting.
How tall is this specific peony cage?
This particular model is 62cm tall.
Can this cage be used for plants other than peonies?
Yes, it is also effective for supporting roses and other large perennial plants that tend to become top-heavy or leggy.
How do I install the cage?
Simply push the legs of the cage directly into the ground around the base of your plant. The sturdy legs are designed for easy insertion.
Will the raw steel cage leave rust marks on my patio or decking?
Yes, the raw steel finish will rust and can potentially leave marks on surfaces. It is best used directly in garden beds or soil.
What are the dimensions of the cage?
While specific diameter is not listed, the 62cm height is provided. It is designed to be substantial enough for large plants.
Troubleshooting
Cage is unstable after insertion.
Ensure the legs are pushed deep enough into firm soil. If the ground is very loose, consider adding extra soil around the base or using a secondary support if extreme conditions are present.
Plant is still leaning despite the cage.
The plant may have grown extensively over the cage. Ensure the cage was placed early in the growing season to allow the plant to grow up through it. For very large or unusually shaped plants, a second cage or additional support might be needed.
Rust appears on the plastic-coated cage.
Inspect the coating for any chips or damage. Minor surface rust in damaged areas can be gently cleaned. If significant rust is present, the coating may be compromised, and replacement might be considered for long-term aesthetic appeal.

Care:
