When I put in a brand new garden border last year, I couldn't decide how to edge it. I wasn't sold on the idea of having metal or wooden edging, but leaving it open for the lawn to creep wasn't ideal either. That's when I stumbled across a more organic way to keep things neat: edging plants.
It's one of the best edging ideas if you don't want to put in hardscaping or want a natural look that still keeps grass and weeds out of flower beds and borders. The best edging plants are those that are compact, suppress weeds, and help maintain a neat line, as well as adding visual interest to your existing planting scheme.
