    These look great in my woodland garden, but squirrels and deer like them, too. Overnight, they are chewed or gone completely. So, really not good for my use.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    I bought these specifically to identify my many iris varieties, and I really like how I won't have to keep making labels every year or so for the iris beds. The labels are low & discreet, so as not to call attention to themselves. The only negative comment is that I wish they were angled a bit more than they are, maybe about 30-40 degrees. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with these plant labels.

    I like the product. I expected it to be larger as I failed to read the description well enough in the catalogue to know what to expect. Otherwise it is great and serves my purpose.

    Beautiful markers, but water makes the writing difficult as the copper weathers. Also,can't turn over to reuse because they snap in half. Would not recommend for serious garden markings.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    I used these little markers in my fledgling lavender garden where I have about 12 varieties that I want to keep track of. They are working great. The only problem I had was making a mistake on one - and then you can't reuse it. The others are out in the garden looking great.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    I have more than 200 iris and am using these markers to identify each different color. I also use them to identify various trees on my land so that others will know the identity when I am not with them to tell them what they are looking at.
    these markers are premenent and will not fade with the sunlight or rain.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    I have a lot of unusual native plants and antique roses, but am always forgetting what I have when people ask. I had some aluminum tags but they don't work for perennials and you have to move them around as branches are cut. These go firmly in the ground so will not get lost. The copper is a little bright and shiny now but will weather to be less obtrusive.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    I very seldom need an ID by my plants. I have a very good botanic memory. But the gardens have become very extensive, and my sister likes to have some identification near the plant to ID it when she give friends or relatives a tour. They were too small for labels like "Caryopteris Longwood Blue". At the age of 75, she would have to bend very low to be able to read the print.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    These markers are not only functional, but look beautiful in the garden. It is suggested to use a ballpoint pen to write on them but I found it difficult to read so I went over them again with a sharpie marker. It worked great!

    I have a small garden design business and have used these in the gardens I've designed for several clients. They remind the client, who is often not a gardener, what's growing in their gardens, and they're very attractive and easy to use. I'll definitely be using them again.

    The copper garden markers add a touch of color and look wonderful in the garden, or container. Much better than the look of the small white plastic markers.

    Comments about Copper Perennial Markers, Set of 10:

    Markers are a great idea to mark my flowers especially bulbs and other perennials I don't see, but I get better writing quality from the metal ones that come with a marker, not copper where I have to use a pen.

    While the copper markers looked very striking in the garden, there needs to be a better way to engrave on the marker itself.

    I thought these plant markers would be of higher quality than they were. They are flimsy and almost unreadable in the garden. Not worth the money.

    Since they're copper, they changed color pretty quickly. But they are stylish. Good for one season but not much more. Helped me learn the names of plants I had professionally landscaped.
