Plant Labels

 As you know, I love growing dahlias.  They are one of the easiest, most generous plants in all the flowering world.  Honestly, the hardest thing about growing dahlias is labelling them. 

Once a dahlia looses its flowers there is no way to know what variety it is and this gets even professional growers and nursery people into trouble.   So, I thought I'd share what I think is the best product I have found to permanently write on the dahlia labels.... a proper paint marker.  I bought this one online and you can see how well the writing has lasted over all the growing season.  Now, all I have to do is figure out what variety this dahlia actually is .... we already know what it is NOT!
