Classic plant markers are laser-etched, solid aluminum nameplates attached to a stake.

Our Classic Stake Markers have been the trusted choice for plant ID signs, garden plant labels, and art exhibit wall markers in botanical gardens, museums, and art galleries across the country for the past 25+ years! Designed from UV-stable black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum or painted KYNAR©, these durable plant labels resist fading, weather, and heavy use while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

For over 30 years, Lark Signs has specialized in durable, custom metal plant labels and botanical garden markers for gardens, arboretums, parks, and plant collections nationwide. Our weatherproof plant markers are laser engraved in-house on black aluminum or KYNAR-coated metal, available in green, brown, and black.

Our sturdy metal stakes feature strong 3M adhesive, with riveted options available for prescribed burn areas.

Made for the outdoors. Built to last. Our engraved metal plant markers are backed by a 10-year guarantee, but we've seen them still looking like new after 20 years outside.
