The scent of Lilies pervades the garden, wafting from the group of 'Black Dragon Strain' Trumpet Lilies. Unlike like last year, I was actually on top of things and staked them early. Unfortunately, my efforts at staking leave much to be desired. There must be an art to staking Lilies to keep them from looking like, at one extreme, a Victorian lady stuffed into a too stiff corset,
and at the other, from leaning over like baseball fans in the nosebleed seats. Or there are these supports, which, while keeping the 'Black Beauty' Lilies from lying on the ground, allow them to look like they're doing The Wave.
These 3-foot supports just aren't tall enough. I've used large single stem supports, tall single stakes, and even peony rings.
None of it is satisfactory. Have you found anything that keeps Lilies upright, yet doesn't make them look trussed up?
