FAQs

How large are these peony supports?

Each support has a height of 31 inches (787mm) and a top diameter of 20 inches (508mm).

What material are the supports made from?

They are made from durable steel.

Will these supports rust?

Yes, they are designed to rust naturally over time, developing a rustic appearance.

Do I need to assemble them?

No, the supports come fully assembled and ready to be placed in the garden.

How many supports are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two large peony supports.

Can these be used for other plants?

Yes, they are suitable for other tall, heavy-flowering plants like delphiniums or dahlias.

What is the best time to install the supports?

It is best to install the supports around young peony plants in the spring, before significant growth occurs, to guide stems as they develop.

Troubleshooting

Support seems unstable

Ensure the legs of the support are pushed firmly into the ground. For very soft soil, consider adding a flat stone or base under the legs for added stability.

Rust is too aggressive or uneven

The rusting process is natural and can vary based on environmental conditions. If an undesirable rust pattern emerges, you can try gently brushing it with steel wool and applying a clear metal sealant, though this will change the intended rustic look.

Plant stems are difficult to guide through the support

This is best avoided by installing the support when the plant is young and guiding stems as they grow. For established plants, carefully spread stems and gently weave them through the support rings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent support for tall and heavy peony blooms.
  • Durable steel construction ensures long-term use.
  • Develops a natural, attractive rustic patina as it ages.
  • Generous dimensions accommodate large peony plants.
  • Comes in a practical pack of two for multiple plants.

Cons

  • The rust finish may not suit minimalist or modern garden designs.
  • Requires time for the intended rustic patina to develop.
  • Steel can be heavy to move once placed in the garden.
  • May show signs of rust from the outset as they are designed to rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a location for your peony plant where it receives adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours daily).
  2. Gently place the peony support around the base of the peony plant. For best results, install the support when the plant is young and still manageable.
  3. Push the legs of the support into the ground around the plant's base to ensure stability. The 31-inch height allows for deep placement.
  4. As the peony grows, guide its stems through the support structure. The 20-inch top diameter provides ample room for growth.

Compatibility:

  • These supports are specifically designed for large peony plants.
  • They can also be used for other tall, heavy-flowering plants that require support, such as large delphiniums, dahlias, or certain varieties of lilies.

Care:

  • The supports are made from steel and are intended to rust naturally. No specific care is required to maintain the rust finish. Regular cleaning is generally not necessary.
  • If you wish to slow down the rusting process, you could apply a clear sealant, but this would alter the intended aesthetic.
  • Ensure the supports are firmly placed in the ground to prevent them from being dislodged by wind or plant weight.
