Plants support clips and rings

Posted by Sammy Willis on June 8, 2017 at 10:47pm in Plants

Can anybody recommend good support rings and clips please? Dont want cheapest 1k for a penny type, but ones that will protect the delicate little beauties. For pinning clematis and roses onto trellis, supporting gladioli, perennial sweet peas, verbena, sunflowers, cosmos, tall phlox and a bunch of other stuff. Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi Sammy, I use the Babyllon galvanised steel spiral plant supports for perennials but they really need to be set up in March/April for the best results.

      Thank you Bernie. Yes I appreciate they do need to go in early, but I got commissioned to do a big border in early May and it's been a mad rush to get everything in as we had to source semi mature plants for show in August LMAO talk about madness!!!! Its been a, um...... challenge and challenges are good for the soul right? HAHAHAHA

    A lot of those plants should be self-supporting...

    we use flexible rubberised coated wire for tying in climbers e.g Haxnicks

    get plant supports from http://www.plantsupports.co.uk/

    delivered very promptly and sturdy
