Rusty Bow Plant Supports (Raw Steel designed to rust) for Peonies, Hydrangea, Roses, etc - Strong Metal Garden Supports - Interlinking (Extra Large (100cm Tall x 44cm Wide) Pack of 4)

Love these supports, have used the power coated ones for years but much prefer these natural ones as they just disappear over time but look wonderful once the foliage dies back. These are the large ones which have very long tines, great for plants that become very large such as fennel as you can readjust the height quite easily as he plant grows. You do need to be careful if you are putting into hard or very dry soil as it is easy to bend the tines, but they do straighten out easily. I love the way they age, in the photos they are brand new so still a bit shiny, over time hey rust and become very natural looking, in he winter the frost looks wonderful on them. I think hey are great value and go well with my GaP steel stakes.

So happy with these, already in use! B&Q stopped making their own version, they now want you to but this fangled kit with plastic attachments, no thank you! So I've found better! Very sturdy, well made, all metal and do the job, I bought the taller ones just to keep back the phlox and everlasting sweet pea off the grass, might even be buying some more for the hollyhocks. A little support goes along way fir some of your taller garden plants.

In the past we have bought treated supports that actually do not really look natural in the garden. Switching to untreated supports that gently rust with age seem to just disappear into the background. Providing supports for plants that really are not fully able to support themselves (given the regular high winds we get coming off the sea) makes such a difference as they are not left sprawling on the grass where insects and the damp play havoc with their display. You can either pull the loops up higher as the plant grows or, for plants like hollyhocks, put in an additional taller loop as they grow towards 8-10ft. Luckily the stems are quite rigid once they really get going and your loops will totally lost in the foliage.

A good height for my dahlias. Strong and the design which allows them to be hooped together is really useful. Must more attractive the canes and ties I was using before.These stakes do rust which I don’t mind, this is made clear in the produce description.

Very sturdy plant supports with a natural look when rusted (which is happening quickly). Very swift dispatch and used immediately to help Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' to withstand the winds prevailing at the moment. So much nicer to look at than the plastic covered ones which tend to stand out in the sunlight, no matter how green the green ......I was on the verge of ordering raw steel rods to make my own when I found these ..... and at such a good price, I have re-ordered ready for various shrubs and perennials to take shape.

I've wanted some of these for ages and decided to splash out and get good ones thatb should last years, not the cheap plastic covered ones which tend to bend in my stoney soil.These are fantastic. I love the way you can interlock them easily and they even make circles as you can see from the photo. This lovely "angels fishing rods"is laden with flowers and needs a "rod rest" and these work perfectly.Glad I got two packs...I think I might need a few more!

I'm delighted with these. They arrived quickly and were securely packaged. The glossy steel finish is attractive and the hoops are very sturdy. I am not very strong but I had no trouble pushing them into the ground (we'd had a lot of rain which no doubt helped!) and I don't think they bent at all. I bought 2 sizes and am particularly happy with the larger ones. I couldn't find anything else as large and really needed them as I'd left it a bit late to stake my peonies and asters. These are perfect because you can hold the plant back out of the way while you push the hoops into the ground, and no harm is done to the plant. I read that these will rust over time, which is also fine - I already have some rusted plant supports and find they are the most easy on the eye. Absolutely 5 star purchase.

These look very good and are quite sturdy, except this morning after very heavy rain through the night my tall clumps of flowers were leaning heavily on the supports and I had to re-position them. But the rain really did come down during the night and the clumps of monarda and veronica are planted on a slope which doesn't help in terms of staying upright. Quite satisfied with the supports and will probably order more.
