I had to stake mine, too. I got plastic stakes (3 ft. tall) at Lowe's in the garden dept.
This is my first year w/Glads. Do I HAVE to dig them up?

If you live in colder zones then you have to dig the bulbs up.
I use stakes one on each end and a couple in the middle of the roll and use gardening string tyed to the stakes running on each side of the plants.I think this is less work and saves time then staking each plant but this depends on the number of plants you have,if just a few then stake individually.But I plant over 25 bulbs so this method works for me.

I have some small sections of rebar, concrete reinforcing rod, that is used to hold the Christmas decorations in place so I use those. Use what ever fairly rigid and small diameter pole, pipe, stick you have. I know people that cut fiberglass bicycle flag poles to size.
