Half-Round Plant Support Stakes, 6 Green Metal Rings at 15.7 Inches Tall

Six metal stakes, each bent into a half-round hoop on a pair of legs. Push them in around a plant and the hoops overlap into a continuous ring that holds heavy stems upright before they fold over in wind or after rain.

They stand 15.7 inches high, which suits the plants that flop hardest in their second month: peonies, hydrangeas, tomatoes and tall border flowers. Used singly they make a low border edge; set opposite each other they cage a single crown. The green finish disappears against foliage, so the support reads as part of the planting rather than as hardware.

Installing them is a matter of pushing the legs into soft ground by hand, indoors in a pot or outdoors in a bed, and they lift out at the end of the season to stack flat for storage.
