The Personalisation Studio / Notes

A label is a note to your future self

At planting time it feels obvious which pot contains which variety. A few weeks later, several rows of similar leaves can tell a different story. Choose the information that will help then: the variety, a useful identifier or a clear plant name. Keep the format consistent across the labels and check spellings before ordering. A short, specific name is usually more useful than a long message that becomes difficult to read.

The Personalisation Studio / Notes

Allow for the plant, not just the pot

The marker should still be visible when the plant has grown. Think about foliage, the depth of the container and where you will stand to read it. Compare the listed dimensions of straight and wider formats with that position. Choose a place where normal watering and tending will remain practical, and follow the individual product's use and care guidance rather than assuming every label behaves the same outdoors.

The Byard’s choosing guide

Labels that make sense after planting day

Start with the plants you need to distinguish, then choose a format with enough readable space. Allow for growth around the marker and use a consistent naming style across the set, especially where several varieties look alike.

Should I put the plant name or variety on a marker?

Use the detail that helps you identify it later. 'Tomato' may be enough for one plant, but variety names are more useful when several are growing together. Keep the wording concise and use the same naming style across the set so the labels are easy to compare.

What is the difference between straight and banner markers?

The shape changes the space available for wording and how the marker sits beside the planting. A narrow stake suits brief names; a wider banner format offers a different reading area. Compare the actual dimensions and placement guidance on the products, rather than relying on the shape name alone.

Can every marker in my order have different wording?

Use the individual personalisation options and add each required version separately where different wording is offered. Prepare a checked list of plant and variety names first. Review the basket against that list before checkout so spelling, quantities and label styles match the planting plan.
