I use tall wooden stakes. We get so much wind here and some of my lilies are a bit too much in the shade so I stake the taller ones. The stakes are about 5/8" square. I put them about 6" back from the lily and use that stretchy garden tape from the dollar store to tie the lilies to them. I have tried to get my husband to weld me some large metal frames to put around them but he hasn't gotten to it yet.
