Product Information

Buy a single cage or a pair — Create a single centrepiece or bookmark your garden with a choice of one or two peony cages. Many have tall stems and large flower heads, so you may be wondering whether or not you need to install supports for the peonies you have chosen. Do Peonies Need Support? Some people like to use wire tomato cages, but I prefer to use peony cages to support my peonies. Using Peony Cages

Trim your peonies after they’re done blooming to remove the dead flowers, and give the plants a nice shape for the summer. Made in Britain — These peony cages are handcrafted to the highest British standards in our West Sussex workshop. It was a heavier gauge wire than other tomato cages but the others could work as well. After some testing, I will let you know how they work.

When purchasing a peony cage, it is important to keep in mind the size of your peonies as they require plenty of space and air circulation to grow. Pests and diseases are killing your squash plants. My squash leaves and stems are always difficult to inspect as it grows, so I always pull them upwards to inspect. My squash is growing in a cage, just like in my garden, where I can assist the plant. Tomato cages can be used to support other plants, such as cucumbers, beans, peas, and heavier eggplants, as well as flowering vines.

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. Step 1: Position a plant stake a few inches away from the rootball, then use your hammer or rubber mallet to drive the it into the ground. Supports may not always be essential, and you may be able to get away without them if you are growing shorter cultivars or are growing them in a particularly sheltered spot. Many peonies will benefit from some kind of support, to prevent breakage to the stems and damage in winds or heavy rains. I’ll share with you what peony supports are popular with gardeners and, my personal favourite, peony chairs!

If peonies don’t have support, the big blooms will cause them to flop onto the ground and they won’t last long. Also, rain likes to batter peonies into the ground which is yet another reason to support them. 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. If we were just supporting the peony bush then the ring would be sufficient but supporting the big blousy flowers takes a little more added to the top ring of the cage.
