[@ToniMedwedew]

Great video Rosanne, I can certainly use some of your tips in my garden. One thing I do with twine is to wet it first before tying, gives it a tighter knot and doesn't slip whilst trying to tie the knot.

[@RosannesGarden]

It's always such a treat to find a new video! 4 o'clocks seem to flop more now than when I was a child and remember them from my grandmother's garden. Funnily enough I was out adding more support in the garden today, my perennial sunflowers from my grandmother's garden always need lots of support., the reason I grow them along our veg garden fence, a little twine and they're done. Happy gardening!

[@RosannesGarden]

Aren't heirloom plants the best? My Golden Glow Rudbeckia are also from my grandmothers garden, but I don't recall if or how she supported them. And, the 4 o'clock seeds were from my cousin. I just love those old plants. But, I never heard of perennial sunflowers! At least not here in Zone 4. Hmm, maybe that's why 🤔.

[@cindyscharr457]

Thank you for showing the golden glow Rudbeckia for 20 years I've been calling it "The farm flower" as it came from our original property farmstead. Now it finally has a name! I have used tomato cages and also plant a wild false sunflower with it for support. This coming season I believe I will but a circle of "Romance asters" around the cluster. Of course by spring I just might change my mind!

[@RosannesGarden]

Yay! Your flower now has a name. I've heard some people also refer to it as "The outhouse flower" because they were frequently planted next to outhouses. I guess it makes sense. I imagine tomato cages would work well. My grandmother grew these against her garage. I do not recall if she supported them, however. They are definitely an "old-time" flower. On another topic, it looks like you have a Newfoundland next to you in your thumbnail. We have a black lab, a descendant of Newfies. Both are wonderful dogs....

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Some great tips, Rosanne! I have the short ring supports, and I find they are too short too, so I will use them with taller stakes. I've seen the metal rings in the craft supply isle priced very inexpensively. Time to stock up on these, as I like the idea of corralling plants in a ring so they can still move freely. I'm having problems with Zinnias this time of year, late August, as the plants are tall and blooms large and heavy. The wind can take them down so easily. The half round supports that you used on the Hydrangeas is a great idea. I don't have luck with them used as a single support, but surrounding them by creating a ring, and fastening them together, would definitely work. Thanks again for the gardening advice.

[@RosannesGarden]

I’m so glad you found the video help! Plant supports really do make the garden look tidy, and it’s good for the plants.

Great advice on staking. I want to plant a five foot row of dahlias, in front of a hedge, in a very sunny site. I would like to have a tiered effect, and am now thinking about pounding two painted 2 x 6’s into the ground and either running bird netting or chicken wire between. You also have given me insight into arranging supports way before they are needed.

Hi Rosanne 😊 I certainly did!! Excellent info as always, and you keep yourself so fit and trim. You look great, my friend! I'd like to know where you find all these or some of your stakes. I have Beebalm and Columbine now growing in the ground that I had in containers last year. I see what they do, as in growing wildly huge! I'm not sure what type of stake is best...for next year perhaps. I keep tying twine around them but , isn't the answer!! How is your Clematis Paniculata doing? Mine is showing growth. Probably because of the Rains and Tons of Humidity we've had here in IL. I'm glad it's lifted however 🙌 I can breathe again!!! Blah, blah, blah. Love and hugs always!

[@RosannesGarden]

Hi Gina, Nice to hear from you! Your question reminded me to add some of my favorite sources to the video description. But, in general, my go-to online garden sources are (in addition to local garden centers): - gardeners.com - gardenersedge.com - kinsmangarden.com Their assortment changes from year to year, so I'm not sure what they are carrying now. Hopefully, the supports are new and improved! I did find the best value for garden stakes on Amazon. Here's that link: www.amazon.com/dp/B085TFVYW6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details I liked that they all sorts of lengths. My clematis paniculata is probably right where yours is...about 7 or 8 inches tall and it looks like it's ready to start taking off. Yes! the rain and lower temps seemed to have revived everything a bit. I feel sorry for the West. Till next time! 🌹

Rossanne, I love you Calla Lillies but I'm confused with information I found regarding Calla Lillies, do they do better in shaded areas or do they like sunny spots?

[@RosannesGarden]

Hi, Great question. For me, I find that my Callas are tolerant of a variety of conditions, which is one of their positive attributes. However, I find they like sun the best, IF they have enough water. They do like to be moist. Sunny and dry has not worked well in my experience. As a compromise, they do well in partial shade/dappled shade, because I think the ground doesn't dry out as quickly. I do have some growing in a shady area, but they are not that happy. They tend to get leggy and produce more foliage than blooms. But, the foliage is really nice anyway. Hope that helps. Also, there is sun and there is sun. For example, morning sun is quite a bit cooler than hot afternoon sun. I'd say they like morning sun, or eastern exposure best.

[@judiklassen2793]

So many good tips!! A question though - I have some very voluptuous peonies. However, when it rains, they become so top heavy, that they just all flop over. Which of your staking methods would I use? Also, how often should they be divided?

[@RosannesGarden]

Thanks! For supporting Peonies, I use a sectioned support (#2 at about 3:00 in the video) placed about 18 inches off the ground. I do this when the Peonie is only about a foot high so that the stems and leaves can grow freely through the support. Once the Peony grows, the support becomes totally invisible, but yet it lends help keeping the stems from flopping over due to the weight of the blooms. As to dividing, and according the the University of Minnesota Extension, Peonies rarely need to be divided; maybe every 10 years or more. In general, the plant does not like to have it's roots disturbed. I have not divided mine. Hope this helps!

Hi! Thanks! I have heard from others that seeds are hard to come by. I'm sorry to hear that as it is such a great plant. I got my plants from cuttings many years ago, so I'm afraid I can't be of that much help. I've heard maybe Etsy? Good luck!

HI Rosanne: Do you have a plant support for Oriental Poppies? thanks

[@RosannesGarden]

I love Poppies, but have not had much success growing them (soil?) . Therefore, I can't speak from experience, but I would think a single stake with loose twine (so the stem of the Poppie can move with the wind) would work. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful. Single stakes and some twine work wonders. Good luck!

[@somai_1]

How tall are the hydrangea supports?

[@RosannesGarden]

I have different heights. I believe those are three feet.

[@arvellataratuta2150]

Your video showed Zinnias, but no mention of supports?

[@RosannesGarden]

Zinnias can be very heavy as they grow and flower 🌸. I do support them very loosely with stakes and twine, much like the globe thistle plant in the video.

[@JohnWilson-um1ly]

Hollyhocks? Do they need staking? I just ordered several. Any ideas would be hrlpful

[@RosannesGarden]

Hi, I've never grown Hollyhocks, but have always liked their look. From my experience with Delphiniums, I would expect Hollyhocks to need staking. I would follow the same guidance as with Delphiniums - stake before they start tipping and give them plenty of room for the stalks to move around in the wind, so they don't snap. Hollyhocks are biennial, meaning they only grow foliage in the first year, flower in the second and then die. Therefore, it's important to let the seeds fall, so that they can germinate and new plants will come up every year. That said, the variety you ordered may bloom in the first year, as more and more cultivars being developed are changing past norms. Good luck!

[@margaretmaguire3329]

I do the same with green twine

[@RosannesGarden]

Yes! Green twine sure does look better. I thought this would show up better in the film. This year, I'm back to green 😉.
