Edging Plants

Edging plants are low-growing species used to define the borders of garden beds, walkways, or other landscape features. These plants create a neat, organized appearance and help prevent grass or other plants from encroaching into garden areas. Common edging plants include boxwood, lavender, and liriope. Edging plants are selected for their compact growth habits, ease of maintenance, and ability to withstand trimming or shaping. They are often used in formal gardens, where precise lines and structured layouts are desired, but can also be effective in more naturalistic settings to create a clear transition between different areas of the landscape. Regular maintenance, such as pruning or mowing, helps keep edging plants tidy and well-defined, contributing to the overall design and functionality of the garden.
