AROUND THE GARDEN

STEP BY STEP Plan plant supports

Put plant supports around herbaceous clumps before they get too big and need unsightly staking with canes and string. Target heavy fowers such as peonies and plants with tall stems such as delphiniums. The foliage will grow through the supports, hiding them by the time the fowers are out, so it will look perfectly natural.
