Ceramic Herb Markers

Ceramic herb markers are a colorful and crafty way to identify the plants in your garden. Equally pretty in summer or winter, ceramic plant markers will last year after year without fading.

The style can be quirky, sweet, or classic, it all depends on the artist. Take a look at a few of our favorites.

1. Colorful Ceramic Herb Markers

Add a little color to the garden with these delightfully eclectic plant markers by Clay Hive Co. Each marker is hand stamped on porcelain and finished with a pretty bright glaze.

2. Set of 3 Ceramic Vegetable and Herb Plant Markers

Handmade and handpainted by the artist, the markers are made from slab clay then bisque fired with a clear glaze. The backs are left unglazed so you can write the planting date or other notes in pencil.

3. White and Green Herb Plant Markers

We loved the classic design of these simple herb garden makers. Each handmade marker is glazed in a glossy white finish with light green lettering. While they hold up great all season, the seller recommends they be brought indoors if the weather will be below freezing.

Metal Herb Markers

Metal is a beautiful material to use in the garden that will change over time. For rustic gardens, allow the metal to age naturally. If you prefer a cleaner look, paint the metal with a clear polyurethane coat to prevent rust and preserve the original finish.

Here are four of our favorite metal herb markers.

4. Stamped Copper Herb Garden Markers

If you’d like a little sparkle and shine in your herb garden, these copper herb markers make a great statement. Choose from three different heights (6, 8, or 10 inches) to compliment the size of your herb. The rectangular label is 2.25 wide inches by 1.25 inches tall.

These pretty markers can be used inside or outside. Use them in pots for your indoor herb garden or buy the taller ones for your outdoor garden. Unlike wooden plant stakes, copper will last for years and years.

When placed outside, the copper will develop a pretty bronze patina. And if you want to shine them up, you can clean them with a copper cleaner, and they will look good as new.

5. Tall Metal Herb Garden Stake Set

The herb names sit on top of the garden stake and are spelled out in a pretty lowercase font. The letters are 2 inches tall, helping you to clearly identify each plant in your garden, even from a distance.

Each herb marker is made from 14 gauge steel and is 19 inches tall. These taller garden markers are a good choice for the outdoor herb garden or raised bed.

The seller recommends applying clear lacquer on top if you prefer to keep the shiny metal look.

6. Round Hand Stamped Metal Garden Markers

Each round plant marker is hand stamped on aluminum and adorned with a cute herb design below. The stakes are made from sturdy galvanized steel and measure 9-10 inches tall. Custom heights are accepted if you have a larger garden.
