Find the support that is suitable for your particular requirements by studying your planting scheme and browsing the different types of plant supports available right here at Gap Garden Products. Consider your plant type and size as well as growing habits and climbing style before making your choice.
Plant supports are extremely versatile, a fact that means they can be used in pots, planters, borders and beds. Before installing your plant supports, select the most suitable location for the design and the plant. You should also make sure that the ground is free from weeds.
While some plant supports can be used without soft string or twine, many species need that extra help. Tall flowering stems (such as dahlias and delphiniums) should be tied individually to the appropriate support using soft string, and this process should be repeated every 10cm as you move up the stem. Climbers should also be secured in this way.
