I use circle stakes on the scapes of all my potted daylilies I'm using for hybridizing, because I have to move the pots to my shady back porch (or even indoors sometimes) to make crosses in our Bakersfield heat. I lost a few scapes back when I started because they started waving back and forth and a few snapped when I carried the pots one-handed, and the circle stakes I got at Lowes really solved the problem for me.
