Planting your garden with a clear edge gives it definition and structure, rather than having it appear to be floating in your lawn. Importantly, edging helps to keep mulch in and grass out of your garden.1 You can edge gardens with all types of hardscaping or you can let plants do the work for you. Edging plants tend to be low growing and often spreading or mounding in habit. They define the start of your garden, but they also soften the edges, so there is no harsh beginning or end. While many plants make great edgers, here are some that do the job with style.
