Sedum, I'm too lazy for stakes. I have to force myself to stake the tomatoes.
The pic above of the orange glads has taken before the stems broke from the weight of the flowers and rain. I think it's the variety.
The white/pink ones would fall over because they were 'planted' on the surface, I think.
Staking is the reason I don't grow the tall Dahlias. I like those shorter, red flowering Redskin. I hate to admit it but I left dozens of the taller (5FT Bishops Children) ones out last Fall, I hate to stake....
Here is a pic of the now deceased tall ones. (I may not get another chance to post this pic,lol)
