I have used PVC pipe as plant labels.  You can go to an irrigation  supply 
store and get broken ones for free.  They cut easily with a chop  saw.  I 
cut them 18".  I use Elmers Painter Stick to write the name of  the iris on 
two sides.  Sharpies fade too much.  You can also buy  Avery Weather Proof 
labels (special order at Office Depot) and print using a  laser printer and 
stick them on the PVC pipe.
 
The nice thing about PVC pipe is they stay put.   However, they  are not 
very attractive.  Metal markers are attractive but get pulled out  by the 
watering hose.  Plus you have to pay money for them.  I now use  PVC pipe for 
the seedlings and metal markers for the rest.
 
 
Good luck.
