What is the best way to label plants on a permanent basis ? Have tried various means, but all get worn out. Permanent markers i have had no joy with, Thanks.

I staple them to my shed wall. You could draw a plan of your garden and do it that way.

I do not know where you get them but I have seen thin strips of copper or copper like material used. Comes in a strip about 1" wide and you can etch plant name on it and attach to plant.

Copper shim. It's thin and soft, scissor cut into strips and punch a hole in the end easily. You can write/engrave on it with a stylus or sharp pointed anything and it never wears off.

No problems I have a friend who does awesome things with stones and one is the stones painted bright with names of plants painted on

Number chart. take photos of your overall garden and plants. Add corresponding number. Match to photo. Like a garden plan used by landscapers when designing gardens. And if you go all flash. Use hyperlinks on an online copy of your garden that pops up all the details and history of that plant. If uploaded to your smart phone allows walking round your garden with all the details at hand.

HB pencil on plastic markers. Push marker under soil so only top is showing

I used to use strips from an old Venetian blind cut into 6" lengths and marked with pencil, but these can become brittle and snap. Now I use plastic picnic knives and marker pen.
