Weigh the Plant Marker Down With Rocks

Small river rocks help secure the plant marker against wind.

David Beaulieu

For extra protection from wind, you can place something small and dense on top of the plant marker. I happened to use river rocks, but you might prefer the look of rocks dug from your own garden. The rocks serve not only to keep the plant marker from being blown around by heavy winds, but also to disguise the top of the plastic pot.
