Wha, I use what ever I have, which like you, includes them all, but I hate them all. I think next year I am going to try to use bamboo and twine on some to see if I like that better. I just hate all that metal in the garden. I have tried to add ones that have "sturdy" stems, but many are still kids and I won't know if they hold up on their own for a few more years. Floppy is bad.

I started to add more peonies after seeing Boojum's garden a few years ago and one that was just amazing. Funny thing is that I still don't have that one, but I will visit hers this year. I think it was called P. Scarlett O'hara. I just hope I planted them at the correct depth and I get blooms, lots and lots of big smelly ones! But some of these are not fragrant, just pretty. Pretty is good. Patti
