Aluminium plant label 15 x 1.6 cm (1in) - sold in packs of 5

These 5 aluminium plant labels from La Cordeline are both aesthetic and very useful for remembering the names of plants or care instructions for each one. They can be planted directly into the soil, outside in the garden, or inside in the pots of your favourite houseplants. Recognizing an orchid variety, not mixing aromatic plants, marking an area of sowing, indicating the presence of a group of dormant narcissus bulbs underground in summer... all made easier by writing everything you need to know on one of these beautiful metal plant labels.

Seed packets, as well as printed bands and labels that come with plant purchases, often deteriorate quickly under the combined action of sun and rain, with the plant names becoming illegible. On the other hand, these La Cordeline labels, made of aluminium, withstand heat and weather well. They can therefore be reused many times. They measure 15cm (6in) long by 1.6cm (1in) wide and come in the form of long rectangles ending in a point. The plant name or any information and message can be written on them with a permanent marker before being put in place. Aluminium is a corrosion-resistant material that can be easily recycled. 

Garden labels are very useful accessories that can also be elegant or charming. In ornamental gardens, some perennials or bulbs disappear underground for a good part of the year, and may risk being accidentally dug up if they haven't been marked. Collectors  of iris or grasses, for instance, will appreciate being able to remember the names of the beautiful varieties they have planted. The enthusiast of rare plants for which there is no common name can, thanks to the label that comes to their memory's rescue, proudly present to their amazed visitors the Latin name of their latest acquisition. Whether inserted in flowerbeds, at the base of a potted plant, in a windowbox, or in a floral arrangement, the aluminium label always makes a great impression. Finally, naming a plant is an excellent way to awaken children's interest in nature, in all its diversity.
