I want to print some plant labels: half-letter-size semi-rigid on a wire
stand with color photo, graphics & description. This would be subject to
daily water spraying and sun.

Any ideas what material to print to?

Most inks, including pigment, will tend to fade. They also
tend to bleed when wet.
Maybe you should try a colour laser photocopier
print, many outlets have these in store.
Then try various methods of waterproofing, including
polyurathane varnish, laminating as used for security
and other passes, etc. Laser pigments being fused
with plastic tend to be more light and water fast.
