Our metal garden stakes are fabricated in a variety of lengths designed for a variety of different uses. I use the shortest (90cms) to mark perennials, particularly those like agapanthus that die down in winter, or where I have planted clumps of bulbs. Taller stakes (from 120cm to 200 cm) are used singly or in groups of 3 or 5 to support individual flower heads (delphiniums) or clumps (phlox or dahlias). Remember to hammer the stakes in well – at least 20-30cm so that they are stable enough to support the plant.
