Supporting tall flower stems

[Greeniscalming]

I’ve got some rudbeckia & verbena at the back of the border, against a wooden fence, that have grown to 6’ plus this summer. I haven’t been able to find a way to support the stems and keep them looking natural. I’ve got some semi-circular supports just under 1 meter but the stems flop over these and snap, and I can’t find taller supports online. I’ve used string tied onto nails in the fence but it looks awful. There are too many stems to support each one individually. What am I missing (that won’t cost an arm and a leg!). Thanks.

I’m planning on trying this - you can make to your own size requirements. https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/diy/how-to-make-steel-supports-for-perennials/?srsltid=AU7gw4WcMfJaFuMC4W8hLuY0SlDI-7anW83jSO9rw4adhRn67rjNY5cP

Have you tried a jute net? That’s what I use on mine.

@anewstartin2026Those are exactly what I’ve got that are too short - I hadn’t thought about making my own! I reckon my steel rods would need to be about 4m but I’ll see if I can find a stockist.
@SharkEnthusiastI’ve not thought about anything like netting. Trouble is they’re not climbing plants so I’m not sure that would help but I shall investigate, thanks.

@GreeniscalmingLet us know how you get on! I’ve not tried it yet.

I just loop some jute strings around the stems and tie it loosely to the net.
