We don't recommend brands, but below is information that should help. Also, be sure your plants are sited in full sun and average soil. Shade or fertile soil could make the stems floppy. Garden supply stores and catalogs offer steel stakes with an inset so you can insert it in front of the border. If you stake it early before the stems come up, stakes made for peonies may help. You also can use bamboo stakes and ties, or tomato cages (which aren't too attractive). These articles offer more tips.
