What are Plant Labels, Ties & String? 

Plant labels, ties and garden string are useful gardening accessories designed to help identify, support and organise plants as they grow. They are commonly used in vegetable gardens, greenhouses, borders, containers and propagation areas. 

Why should I use Plant Labels? 

Plant labels make it easy to identify seeds, seedlings, bulbs and established plants. They are particularly useful when growing multiple varieties, helping gardeners keep track of sowing dates, plant names and growing requirements. 

What are Plant Ties used for? 

Plant ties are used to secure plants to supports such as canes, stakes, trellises and frames. They help support climbing plants, vegetables, flowers and young trees while allowing stems to grow safely and naturally. 

What is Garden String used for? 

Garden string is a versatile gardening accessory that can be used for training plants, supporting stems, marking out planting rows, securing netting and creating straight lines for sowing seeds and planting. 

Which Plants need Ties and Support? 

Many climbing and tall-growing plants benefit from support, including tomatoes, peas, beans, sweet peas, clematis, climbing roses and other ornamental climbers. Young trees and some shrubs may also require support while establishing. 

Are Plant Labels reusable? 

Many plant labels can be cleaned and reused for multiple growing seasons. Removing old writing and cleaning labels after use can help keep them organised and ready for future planting projects. 

How do I avoid damaging plants when using Ties?
