Help for a windswept garden please?

My garden is fairly exposed and the wind causes havoc with - in particular - my masses of poppies, but lots of other stuff too. Half the time it looks as though someone has trampled all through my beds. Has anyone tried tying poppies and/or their leaves to canes - or are there other cleverer ways of making them sturdier?
thanks

 

I live in quite a breezy spot,however I do have a low wall which shelters most things, If I spot things falling down whether due to wind or just for general need of support:OUCH: I use pea sticks,anything I prune back I keep anything woody even cotoneaster and push them into the centre of plants and they give great supports :happydance:

 

Just looked at your avatar Pam. The wind has destroyed my bleeding heart this week, it was in full flower too.

 

My Dicentra has had a battering too,but it has been in flower for nearly a month

 

I live in a very exposed spot, 700 feet up. We have some really ferocious winds.

My rule is that plants have to be able to (literally) stand up for themselves. The only things I stake are lilies. I don't rule much out because of the wind; it's surprising what will actually thrive.

Currently flourishing plants in the herbaceous borders include phlox paniculata, aquilegia, hemerocallis, paeony, lupins, scabious, hardy fuchsia, crocosmia, schizostylis coccinea (Kaffir lily), pinks, penstemons, gypsophila and many more.
