    I was in Umbria Italy in May and I noticed that pots of ivy geraniums had a circular plastic support around the plant to act as a support to keep the plant up off the dirt and to ( I presume) make the plant cascade more prettily as it grew. I failed to ask anyone if these supports could be purchased there, or if gardeners simply made their own from circular plastic baskets? I live in Pennsylvania and have been gardening for many years and have never seen anything like this done here or available here. I'm interested to know if these supports are available for purchase, on the web or elsewhere? I've never had much luck with my ivy geraniums, and I think that a support would really improve the appearance and the health of the plant. Any ideas or suggestions are most welcomed. Debbie K.
