Home › Categories ›Winter Plant Tagging: How to Label Your Dahlias Before Frost
As winter approaches, identifying plants in your garden becomes increasingly difficult — particularly for varieties grown from cuttings, where you cannot rely on flowers to confirm what's planted. Jess from Achilles Cut Flowers shares a simple, reliable method using flagging tape and a permanent marker.
The technique: source flagging tape from any hardware store (available in multiple colours), write the variety name with a Sharpie, and tie the tape low on the stem. This keeps the label attached to the plant itself, so when you dig up tubers later in the season, your variety information stays intact.
Ground-based labels often go missing during digging, making stem tags the more reliable option for serious growers.
