Could this be the ultimate support for medium sized pots? It’s worked so far for the Brugmansia in the front in quite strong winds. The three stakes are driven through cells in the honeycomb support material in the gravel.

This is a relic from the previous London garden. I started with the pot closer to the house, where the leaves that side got shredded in the wind. Let’s see how they recover in this new position.

Groups of pots on the gravel are working really well, particularly in the front garden.

The erysimum in B3 and the euphorbia in B1 have both grown spectacularly. Too much and fast for their root systems to keep up. These supports made from three stakes and c. 5mm cord worked well. Later (June 17) the support was effectively invisible
