    The fence behind is about 5 feet high. This was 2 years ago. The yellow lily and couple other colors are all ready 3 feet high-2 months before time to bloom here.

    Koszta, how wide and long is the bed? I would think a piece of agriculture fence panel set up on a few blocks of some kind, Cement would look ugly, but you could plant something in front of them, too. Then the lillies can grow right through it. It would be a perfect "plant stake" for the bed. Maybe someone could torch a piece in half lengthwise to work, too. Just a thought. it just looks like a lot of individual stakes to me. The lillies will be beautiful come summer.

    Green string, and tie them loosely to the fence.

    I have since I took the picture thinned plants around the lily. I spray painted fence stakes green To stake them. I didn't take pictures of other colored Asian.Warm temps-now cold and windy -think plants are confused.
