The Brother P-Touch Labels will last a very long time. We had one that withstood 10 years in the garden, several which were covered with dirt! When we moved all the iris from bed #2, we found this label. Notice that the tape survived longer than the label itself. I think the main thing is to make very sure you burnish the tape very hard against the label, especially around the edges to seal it completely. They sure work for us, now if we could keep the critters and weather from digging and pushing them up, we'd be happy gardeners. We tried using rocks, but the skunks and raccoons move them around. And last years 63" of snowfall in one month even bent over our metal slats I tried.
