Support tall stems with a 'cats cradle'
Support tall stems with a 'cats cradle'
14th June 2020
For really tall perennials like delphiniums or Eupatorium, a really effective method of support (from Fergus Garrett of Great Dixter) is to use one or more really firm stakes at the back of the clump, then run string around individual stems and back to the stakes, so that the stems can move individually but not snap.
