Southside of Chicago here. Yep, early today 5 @ bamboo stakes X 3.5" worked just great. Thank you.

Exactly what I was looking for. I just spent $15 at a big box store for a peony ring that is pretty weak and insubstantial. I wish I had watched this first.☺️

you could buy in home depot this mesh for gardening, has holes big enough to make your own custom rings. i normally use it make trails for my climbing flowers.

"I'm in New England so it's a little rocky." I felt that in my SOUL lol! I'm in CT too over in the Farmington Valley. This was really helpful, thanks! I have plenty of pruned forsythia that I can use for stakes!

Thank you for sharing this (and nice use of physics). Simplicity, my kind of solution!

Do you have a video on winter care? I’m in 7b and keep mine in the ground and have heard to leave the foliage or it will affect next year’s blooms but after a while the greens get a bit worn but not sure of how much and when they can be cleaned up. Thanks

i came here because i struggle to keep them standing up.
