Our 5 great reasons to stake your plants
It’s that time of year where our plants are growing up and those flower stems are getting really top-heavy with bright and large flowers.
But those flowers can start to droop or even fall completely over.
Here are our 5 great reasons why you should stake your flowers and plants:
- To keep them growing upright to keep looking beautiful and not start to bend their flowers or stems of those flowers.
- To stop them from laying over nearby plants so they don’t shade them out or smother them.
- To stop flopping or fallen over stems from kinking or breaking their stems.
- To lessen pest and disease infestations.
- And, to keep your plants and flower from blocking walkways and entrances.
10 common plants that need staking:
- Crocosmia
- Liatris
- Coneflower
- Black-eyed Susan
- Penstemon
- Dahlia
- Lupine
- Sunflower
- Dephinium
- Foxglove
