The Shrub Support is the same shape as our border restraints, this is a monster version for shrubs, roses and other larger plants that require attractive and effective support. Victorians made them from wrought iron but we are using a high tensile steel rod which is commonly used for holding up sky-scrapers. It has a pretty rope finish which we have powder coated in black.
• Made from High tensile steel • Size 90cm (35") High 75cm (30") Wide
Give perennials such as peonies, delphiniums and lupins the early support they crave to help them grow tall and strong. As the new growth comes up, the supports will be hidden... Alternatively, you could use tailor-made wire frames or attractive silver spirals to lend some support. Shrub supports from Harrod Horticultural £13.95 each.

Link Stakes are the most effective, versatile and discreet way to support plants throughout the garden, each stake simply 'links' to the next to create any size or shape of plant support. The Link-Stakes can be placed in the border before or after plants have grown and can be easily adjusted at any time during the growing season.
• Available in seven sizes from 30cm to 100cm and either in packs of 12 or 24 • Strong, sturdy and the green coating helps them to virtually disappear when in place. • Many plants are vulnerable to damage from wind and rain unless properly staked. • All our link stakes are made from heavily galvanised steel rod and coated with dark green plastic. • They will last for decades and are virtually invisible. • We manufacture 3 types of plant supports: Link-Stakes for herbaceous perennials throughout the garden, Loop-Stakes for single stemmed plants and Border restraints for the front of the border. • Aim to stake your plant about half way up its full height and allow a few inches in the ground. • The most effective, versatile and discreet way to support plants throughout the border.
Please note: it is advisable to use a hole former (see 'View All Options And Prices' below) if the ground is very hard or uncultivated and the restraints or stakes are long
