Here is a very simple and cheap way to keep track of your hostas.
Take a 18 inch wood stake and pound it into the ground in front of the
hosta so that only maybe 1 inch is above ground. Then take a regular
plastic lable, write the name down with a Sharpie pen and then slide
the lable behind the stake and shove it all the way below ground. The
lables are not exposed to sun, so they last a long time and do not
fade, and the wood stake keeps them from frost heaving during the
winter.
