I recently purchased a large number of plug plants (by mail order),

labelling had faded to zero - I assume it was a combination of heat
(80F in glasshouse today) and sun . Fortunately I had kept the
original trays and eventually fathomed out which plants were which.
Have bought some more "guaranteed non-fade" pens today and am
keeping my fingers crossed.

A 2B pencil seems to last well and some people swear by Dymo tape.

If you can still get them, old-fashioned chinagraph pencils work well:
it's a sort of sticky waxy stuff.
