Staking perennials

Border plants are making good growth now but much of this can become vulnerable to damage from heavy rain and high wind. Therefore staking or supporting is important: use twiggy sticks (known as pea sticks), canes, round mesh or wire supports, or plastic-coated stakes to protect them. Make sure you do this before the damage is caused.
