Any recommendations of High quality peony supports ? Only ones I'm really seeing are on gardeners supply. They are a lot of money. Anyone use those or any other ones they love. ? Plz share.

I use green tomato cages. Works well, blends into the plant, and doesn't break the bank.

I have also used black tomato cages. I use bolt cutters to separate a 4 ringed one into two 2 ring ones.

I bought some of those fancy ones from gardeners supply, and they are nice.

I have resorted to using green coated chicken wire (Tractor Supply has it) around my woody peonies. It keeps those pesky rabbits from eating the bark. I anchor it with either Bamboo or rebar.

When I took the dogs out for their evening walk last night ( Easter) there was a huge rabbit 10 feet from the back stoop. I
Just yelled at it and it ran away. I'm sure it had been sampling Hostas or daylilies. Grumbling Grumbling
It was not the Easter bunny Rolling on the floor laughing

I saw how Monty from Gardener World made support for his plants, but I could not find the original video. Here are two videos with a similar idea:

I use tomato cages too but I cut them vertically so I can open them up to make a bigger circle or put two opened-up cages together for a huge circle. I try and get the red ones when they go on sale in the Fall.
