Don’t You Remember Me? — Identify Your Plants With Kincaid Plant Markers

Are you terrible with names. Maybe you can remember a face, but not a name. For some people, the same goes with plants. “Wait…is that catmint or catnip? I know that one there—it loves the sun and blooms in early June and makes a great cut flower….but I don’t remember its name.” Thank heavens that plants don’t have ears. How sad to be forgotten. Sturdy durable plant markers can help you always identify your plants no matter how poor your memory becomes.

What does it matter if you remember a plant’s name? If you ever share some of your plant with a friend (which if it is a perennial you will most likely have to divide it at some point) your friend will probably want to know its name. If you want to buy more of it from a nursery someday or want to find it in a catalog you’ll want to know its name. If you want to know if it will attract certain caterpillars or hummingbirds or butterflies and other insects to your yard you may want to know. You may also need to know your plant names if your pet eats it and gets ill or if you want to find out if deer and other garden intruders will or will not eat it. Best of all, it’s easier to introduce your garden to friends who visit when you can introduce your plant by name rather than by, “Here’s a pretty one…”

So, now you have to choose the best labels for your garden. You can keep the ones that are stuck in the plant pots when you buy them, but they are flimsy plastic that don’t last too long. They get raked up, scratched up, bent or blown away fairly easily. White plastic markers can fade, get snapped off by a weed-whacker, get trampled by children or merely snap as you’re trying to press them further into the ground. You can buy ornate ones that may chip or become faded in the sun, or you may buy ones that have durable plates but have painted etched writing that fades all too soon. In order to always identify your plants you will need a marker that lasts as long as your plant.

Plant markers that are 100 percent stainless steel won’t rust or become weathered by the season’s harsh moods. They also are good for the environment. They don’t need to be painted or repainted and they won’t end up in landfills like the many other markers that will only last temporarily. Stainless steel gives a classic clean look to your garden that won’t ever go out of style.

Kincaid Plant Markers offers you long-lasting stainless steel plant tags and stakes to make sure that you can always identify your plants. Your memory may fail, but Kincaid Plant Markers won’t fail you.
