The problem with all printed labels is the fading over time. In a
private
garden and with enough time to do it, I'd go for lead labels and
'scratch'
what you want onto those. Many places sell them and they're both
attractive
and practical for the private gardener, IMO. Otherwise, my personal
experience is that Dymo labels last as well, if not better, than most
things.
We used Dymo out on the allotment for years on white painted sticks and
now use the Brother Labeller machine most GCs sell and find that they
work
even better, not least because you can get black letters on white
background. We stick the labels onto large white plastic labels.
Many thanks all for advice.
I'm probably more fanatical than most about labelling ( Certainly more
fanatical than some nurseries! ) I remember the old grey metal scratch
labels but haven't seen them for years.
I'm thinking of the quite prettily shaped lead ones - faux lead?. I think
the RHS or NT does them, or something similar. And these are attractive

I came across this idea used re-cycled drinks cans, which I thought I'd give
a go:
