This Garden Pride Plant Support Cloche is designed for gardeners looking to provide structure, protection, and aesthetic appeal to their plants. Its sturdy steel construction offers reliable support, while the available finishes allow for integration into any garden style. A key benefit is its dual function: offering support during growth and serving as a decorative element. However, the raw steel option requires maintenance to manage natural rusting.

Its primary purpose is to support, protect, and guide garden plants, preventing them from bending or breaking, and also serving as a decorative garden feature.
The cloche comes ready assembled. Simply push its legs firmly into the ground around the base of the plant.
The raw steel finish is designed to rust over time, creating an authentic, aged look. The plastic-coated finish (in black or green) is designed to resist rust and maintain a sleek appearance for longer.
Yes, for tall plants, the cloche can be inserted deep into the ground and then slowly drawn out as the plant grows, providing continuous support.
While the main frame is rigid steel, the structure allows for gentle bending if needed to better suit the plant's shape, making it more versatile than rigid rings.
Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the coating.
The raw steel is designed for a natural rusting process which develops a patina. While it will rust on the surface, the solid steel construction ensures structural integrity for many years.
Ensure the legs are pushed deeply and firmly into the soil. If the ground is very hard, water the area slightly to soften it, or choose a different location. For very tall plants, consider using multiple supports for added stability.
Natural rusting is expected and part of the aesthetic. Uneven rusting can sometimes occur due to differing moisture levels. If an even patina is desired, you can lightly sand the surface and apply a clear metal sealant, though this will alter the intended natural aging process.
If the coating is significantly damaged, it's best to replace the support to prevent the underlying steel from rusting. Minor chips might not immediately compromise the structure, but monitor for rust.
Setup: The Plant Support Cloche comes fully assembled. To set up, simply push the sturdy legs firmly into the ground at the desired location around your plant. Ensure it is stable before leaving it to support your plant.
Compatibility: This cloche is compatible with a wide range of garden plants, from delicate flowering shrubs and perennials to young topiary or taller, single-stemmed plants. It is suitable for use in garden beds, borders, and pots, provided the pot is large enough to accommodate the base legs.
