plant labels

I like to label outdoor-pot plants before the winter. I have recently used white plastic labels and a "permanent" felt-tip pen. The writing fades over the winter. Any recommendations?
I find pencil and the wax crayon supplied difficult to apply neatly. The part that is below the soil survives.
I recognise my agapanthus and hostas when they flower or leaf, but would like to know what I am working with during spring repotting. It is better that they are still below ground so as not to damage young growth.
Whilst you are reading this, perhaps you can name these two dahlias.

I have used them but unfortunately I can't recall how they were described or where I got them from.
Got a feeling some of the NT and RHS gardens use them tho.
