My tall ones get knocked over, too, in our storms. Monsoon rains and near-hurricane force wind are not conducive to tall plants in the garden. Our storms are fierce, and being on top of this mini-mountain over the river doesn't help. We even have trouble keeping a roof and siding on the house.

Tomato cages work well around tall plants against wind...if you do not have a lot of plants to care for.

cages don't help much with these guys! Seems like right after they bloom we get a big storm with hard rain!

Them is tall!!

Not actually echies...Rudbeckia Herbstonne, I love them but I can always plan on a hard rain right after they bloom.
