    Plant stakes help keep plants straight, strong, and intact while they reach maturity, providing added support to prevent long stems from breaking. Some alternatives to plant support stakes for larger plants include cages or trellises.


    Plant markers are similar to plant stakes, but their primary purpose is to indicate what type of plant you are growing, and where you have planted it. Plant markers can also act as stakes, but most often they are uniquely designed for marking, as their name suggests. There are many types of plant markers to suit your garden’s aesthetic. Go modern and sleek or try vintage plant markers and stakes to personalize your garden or greenhouse with a nostalgic touch.

    Even the most skilled gardeners can sometimes find it tricky to immediately recognize the species of plant or flower that they’re looking at. That’s why garden plant markers are so popular for plant enthusiasts no matter how experienced they are. Markers for plants are especially important during the period before your plants sprout, as it’s hard to tell where you planted each type of seeds until they start sprouting, but mature plants can sometimes be tough to distinguish as well. Metal plant markers really stand out and will last for many seasons of gardening, while waterproof plant markers are ideal if you live in a climate that sees a lot of rainfall.
