If your peony bush is too large to use grow through plant supports, then you can create a DIY peony cage using plant stakes and ties. Grid-type hoop supports can be better than open hoops because they provide support not just for the whole clump, but for individual stems. Supporting peonies is important to keep them looking their best. In this post, I will teach you how to support your peonies so that you can enjoy their beauty for years to come! In late spring, peonies erupt all over the city. It seems that every second house has one in the garden, and it’s no wonder; their blooms are one of the biggest and most stunning to arrive in the spring.

Planting potted peonies is a great way to get a bit of a head start on growing these beautiful plants. When your peony bush is done blooming and you’ve removed all the dead flowers, leave it alone until fall.You can often see them in my Secret Garden tour videos. I just would place a 4-inch terra-cotta pot over the legs at the top for decorative purposes. Since they are such early spring growers, it’s best to cut down peonies in the fall after hard frost has killed the foliage. This also helps prevent pests and disease. Simply cut the plant all the way down to the ground. It is best to grow tomatoes in stagnant, hot weather. Plastic wrap is applied over the bottom two rungs and steps of the tomato cage to simulate a greenhouse. Plants are not allowed to move because the heat is trapped within the wrap and cannot escape.

You can also use this method for supporting peonies that are already blooming, to prop up any flowers that are already drooping, or to support peonies that are too tall for commercial cages. How To Make Peony Plant Supports Step-By-Step Many peonies will benefit from some kind of support, to prevent breakage to the stems and damage in winds or heavy rains. The cage also allows air to circulate around the flower buds, keeping them in pristine condition as they unfurl each spring season. Don’t cut peony foliage down to the ground too early or your peony won’t have enough time to store up the energy it needs to bloom in the spring. Peony cages are used to provide support to the growing plants. This helps keep the plant’s flowers and foliage upright. The cage prevents them from collapsing under their own weight or becoming overwhelmed by strong winds.

Adlington Plant Herbaceous Support - Medium

Remove the spent peony flowers as the petals start to turn brown. This will encourage the small buds to open, extending the bloom time. Delivery is Mainland UK and excludes The Highlands and Isle of Wight, Isle of man and Channel Islands.

But don’t worry if you forgot, you can still stake your peonies after the flowers have opened, and save them from crashing to the ground. More About Flower GardeningCut your peony down to the ground in late fall or after frost has killed the leaves (don’t cut it down in the spring or summer or it may not bloom next spring)! In early spring, when peony shoots begin to pop through the ground, I make sure to get my peony support rings into the ground so my peonies will have a shoulder to lean on when the weight from their giant blooms begin to emerge. If a collection needs to be arranged, this will be made for a weekday only, between standard working hours.
