Dill Original Brass Herb Marker with Patina Finish for Garden and Planters Handmade in USA

I have always had a difficult time finding quality and easy to read marker stakes for my garden plants. When I saw this marker on Amazon, I liked the way it looked and bought several different ones in additional to the dill marker. Unfortunately, I returned them all. They were not suitable for outdoor use because the stakes are not long enough and the finish, while very nice, did not look as though it would weather well outside. Also they were much smaller and more fragile than I had expected. In addition, it was difficult to discern the name of the herb on the marker which is the whole point of buying this item. On the other hand, if you have a small potted herb garden, they would look nice.
