I have masouram a tall type of crocosmia, its been in for two years and stayed upright up to the winter. I think the way the corms grow on top of each other slowly lifts the plant and helps contribute to falling over. Dug up and reseting the corms might go some way to keeping the plant upright.

Great tip to just stake the flower stalks and to leave the leaves alone. I used green yarn to tie mine up and you can’t even see it.

[@SpokenGarden]

That's a fun idea to use green yarn! Thanks for watching!

[@leliamarks4674]

That was great

[@PVJSLJ]

And then I found this video! 😂😂😂

[@ashleycarroll504]

My tall flower is corn-flag. I might try this next year for them because they did flop over to the ground and bend the stems. Thanks for the vid!

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Ashley! 👋 Thank you for your kind words. 😁 We haven't grown corn-flag specifically before but being a gladiolus species, we can definitely understand how they would grow tall enough to need staking. Thank you for sharing your tall flower and for watching! If you think of it, tag us on Instagram to show us your corn-flag at @SpokenGarden. 😃

[@kathrynjarboe1259]

You can purchase green twine!

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Kathyrn! 👋 Totally, we didn't have any at the time, so we used the regular twine we had on hand. The green would really help in hiding the twine and make the garden look more seamless. Great idea! Thank you for watching and commenting. 😃😉👍

Do you need to stake hollyhock? I live in northeast Ohio and just ordered a few plants, height 6-9 feet

[@toad4ever103]

I used a tomato cage on some Shasta daisies. I wonder if it would look alright with my crocosmias?

[@tess8117]

My sisters hyacinth keep topping over and we are not sure how to fix it hopefully this will work !

[@delia5588]

What type of crocosmias are these? I just purchased some Lucifer crocosmia bulbs from Costco and then packaging says they will reach a height of 32”. They are bright red like yours.
