Morn, could someone remind me what plant this is, that's the leaky one not rose, lost label, also what is a good brand of indelible marking pen as ink labels fade on me? Many thanks.

Pass on the plant, try using pencil instead of any of the pens on your labels - seems to last longer.

Yep, a No. 2 pencil on a plastic label. Even more permanent, a copper foil label--there are several different types--and emboss the name on with a ballpoint pen.

Don't use a felt tip or marker pen because they are the most impermanent. I know from experience.

did you plant any eucomis?

the best I've found is staedtler and some labels have lasted 10 yrs. others less than a couple.
avoid sharpie 6-18months tops for me. Pencil works really well.

Maybe Eucomis, Sbg, or maybe Sea Squill (Drimia maritima).
