Be supportive!

Now is the best time to put plant supports in place for herbaceous perennial plants before they are too tall or laden with heavy blooms.

Adding supports now will look more attractive too. This is because as the plants grow their leaves will help cover up the frames.

Criss-crossing strings from hidden ior decorative posts also works well as stems are allowed to grow upwards.

You can buy some really nice supports these days or alteratively there is always the traditional bamboo cane! For loads of ideas why not visit St Bridget Nurseries Garden Centres in Exeter?
