Abstract: A label display stake for use with plant containers and which is formed as a single piece, preferably from a plastics material. The stake has an elongate body having an upper label carrying portion, and a lower mounting portion which is located within a plant container when the stake is in use. Label attaching structure is provided on the upper portion and is operative to resist separation of the label from the stake. In one form, the label attaching structure holds the label at a particular disposition for convenient viewing and also holds the label against rotation about the axis of the stake. Mounting structure is provided on the stake for cooperation with a plant container so as to hold the stake against a side of the container and also resist removal of the stake from the container. Stabilizing structure may be provided on the stake so as to hold it against lateral tilting relative to the container.
