I got the suggestion to use hog wire to support plants this spring, and I am absolutely in heaven! The montbretia in this picture were just done the day the picture was taken, so the effect isn't wonderful, but gives you the idea of how I have used it. The two blue geraniums have been surrounded for a few weeks, and they are looking the best they ever have. They are not mashing the plants surrounding them, and don't look like a sausage tied in several places like they do if I use stake and a twine.
