Hi Bill, So, what are you using now? I like the vinyl tags but they are too small for in-ground tags so I reserve those for pots. I like the kind-of horseshoe shaped wires with the metal (galvanized or copper) flat plates that fit onto the top but in a year or two they get bent and the plate falls off. The only ones I ever had that work for several years are the panagraphed green (or black) plastic attached to a 9-11 awg wire that Oakes Daylilies sells for about $3 each. Don't fall apart, withstand several run-ins with the lawnmower, don't fade. They still rust in the ground but it takes several years to rust through.
