"Encourage your flowers to keep their heads held high with this starter kit comprising three each of three lengths - 12in (30cm), 24in (60cm) and 36in (90cm). I was impressed with how robust these stakes were and I wouldn't flinch at using them to give more woody plants a helping hand. They're made from aluminium tubing cut to a point so they can be pushed into the ground more easily. I used a 2ft (60cm) stake on my delphinium, linking the Y shaped arms at the top to form a circle around the flower spike. I also tried two stakes joined together around a clump of Canterbury bells. Another option is to thread twine through the links to tether a plant to a wall. The company recommends them for top-heavy bloomers, such as dahlias and peonies, plus they can be used successfully in pots to support lilies. Once you start using them, like me, you'll find they have a great many uses around the garden. Although pricey, these should last years. You can buy specific lengths in packs of 5 or 10, which is more economical."
