How do you stake your dahlias?
With photos if you have them!
I have used a sturdy hazel stake, but then the dahlia tuber grew with multiple stems, so I pushed a couple of more in but they ended up looking a bit trussed up and the stakes stood out too starkly against my pale stone walls.
I tried a couple of metal plant hoops in a semi-circle, but they flopped over the top and looked messy.
Would a grow-through type arrangement work, maybe like a basket of pea sticks or a metal grow-through?
I am struggling to think of an aesthetically pleasing solution that does not detract from the plants while still supporting them.
How do you do yours?
