The English are known for their love of perennials - and also for their perennial borders, the lushly planted "borders". So it's no wonder that intelligent solutions come from the island to keep the flowering splendor in check and to provide support for the plants. Like these famous "link stakes": plant supports that can be combined in many different ways. They are simple sticks equipped with hooks and loops at the top.
The one interlocks with the other, and depending on the number of sticks inserted into each other, the resulting support can be inconspicuously adapted to any growth form and size, and even lushly grown plants can still be subsequently edged without damage. Broad-growing or tall plants require from experience a support of four long rods, smaller and narrower grown rather one of three or four short.
