Plant labels?

---

Hello folks!

I have finally  (after five years of planning) planted my front yard and need to label the kazillion plants that have gone into the ground.  I use Paw Paw Everlast metal labels which are terrific but I am still plagued by problems with what kind of marking pen or pencil to use.  I've tried pencil (rubs off), Sharpie indelible (fades), white out pens (last a long time but are so white that they make the lables stick out rather than fade into the background).

what do you recommend?  What lasts a long time in your garden?

thanks

Nan
