A cure for drooping blooms

Article Abstract:

Many perennials grow tall and will bend and droop unless supported. Small twiggy branches will support the shorter perennials such as carnation pinks. For taller plants like delphiniums, hoops, wire fences, twine, stakes, and even tomato cages can be used. Tips are given on installing the supports.
