Garden Markers
At Cedarthorn Gardens


I have been experimenting with various methods of marking my daylilies and perennials for as long as I have been gardening. When I became involved with hybridizing, my marking methods became extremely important - they must provide the data I needed, they must hold up in all weather extremes, they must be affordable, they must be easy, and last but not least, they must not detract from the beauty and natural flow of the gardens. Then as I began shipping daylilies, I found I again needed a marker of some sort and have designed a shipping tag that doubles as a shipping tag for me and a permanent plant label for my customer
CUSTOM LABEL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY CONTACTING ME - YOU MAY CALL, EMAIL, OR SNAIL MAIL TO PLACE A CUSTOM LABEL ORDER
The marker stake and/or nameplate...
I use 2 kinds from the following suppliers:

1) Simply Elegant Garden Marker from Gary Schaben of Northern Exposure Garden - Fax: 763-295-4954 or - They have metal rods in 3 heights and the nameplate attaches to the rod - very nice!

2) Zinc nameplates in various styles and sizes - PawPaw Everlast Label Company - http://www.everlastlabel.com
Cedarthorn's Unique Custom Garden Marker LABELS
I will custom design labels to fit the marker you are using.
Cedarthorn's Custom Labels for the Simply Elegant and Simply Elegant Economy Markers
I have devised a label which is laser printed and laminated with a heavy 10 mil UV protected plastic designed to resist temperature extremes, liquid penetration and heavy handling to last for years. The label can be attached to any nameplate by using a 100% silicone for indoor/outdoor (I prefer the GE brand but there are several available and can be found in building supply stores)

NEW-NEW-NEW... Custom Tribute Label
I will custom design markers to your size needed, using your text & image for $10.00 then use the price each for the Elite four line label (adding 15 cents each for color) to the above price list. There is no minimum so feel free to order 1 or dozens of the same marker. I have found several uses for these special markers such as:

1) Daylilies named for someone - for example, I registered a daylily named for a great grandmother Eva Prall Hoehn. The marker has her picture as a young woman with the daylily details but also has a description of her with birth and death dates.

2) Special Perennials - for example, I grow a coral bell that was given to my mother in the 1950's from her great aunt and was shared with me... etc - Just interesting little tidbits along with pictures and of interest to garden visitors as well as myself on those sunny 30 degree days during winter.

3) Memorial markers for special pets with their picture, dates, etc

ORDERING NOTE: Before placing an order for the Custom Tribute Labels please contact me by phone, 317-392-0264 or email, , to discuss details such as type and size nameplate, text wanted on each, and expected shipping date.
