How about adding a checker board of strings to the modified tomato cage, so the peony stems can grow up through them. That might help support the blooms. Unless the strings would slide out of shape (squares) because the hoops are round... 🤓🧐

Actually I have had no problem over the years. Maybe if my patch grew much bigger, but they come up straight. the leaves stick through the sides and it hides the cage nicely.
