Seed packets, as well as printed bands and labels provided when purchasing plants, often deteriorate quickly under the combined action of sun and rain, with the plant names becoming quickly illegible. These plastic labels resist heat and bad weather better. This model has a pointed end that can be directly inserted into the garden soil, potting soil of a planter or pot, or even into the moss of a floral arrangement for example. The name of the plant and any other information can be written on it using a water-resistant marker, before being put in place.

Plant labels are essential accessories. In the vegetable garden, it is essential to identify sowings of lettuces, radishes or carrots, as well as varieties of melons or squashes. In ornamental gardens, some perennials or bulbs disappear underground for a good part of the year, and risk being destroyed under an unfortunate blow of a spade or pickaxe if they have not been marked. The collector of irises or grasses will appreciate being able to remember the names of the beautiful varieties he has planted. The enthusiast of rare plants for which there is no common name can use the label to jog his memory and present to his visitors the Latin name of his latest acquisition. Plant labels sometimes also play a teaching role in open gardens.
