Staking glads and dahlias

What is the best way to stake them inconspicuously? They will be planted in an island bed that is only about 10' from the street. I bought green bamboo, but how can I postion them best so that the flowers cover them? TIA, Tamara

I too am growing dahlias and glads for the first time this year and am exploring my options for staking.

I saw this link mentioned for dahlias:

Old House Gardens who I ordered from has this advice on their web site for staking dahlias:

For glads, I bought some green loop type stakes from a discount store near me. They are similar to these pictured on Gardener's Supply:

Gardeners Supply has many staking systems on their web site to give you ideas:

Thanks for the info! :-) Tamara
