What herb can I use as an edging plant in my garden

by Mary

Can you recommend an edging plant for a bed half in semi shade and half in shade?

I want something evergreen and not too expensive as I have about 40 yards to plant up.

I have thought about box or lavender but that would probably cost too much.

Edging Herb
by: Liz

Hi

I would recommend thyme.

Lavender grows too tall and leggy over time to be an efficient edging plant - it will put the bed in shade.

Box is good, but needs clipping to keep it in good shape and 40 yards is a lot of clipping two or three times a year minimum.

I would suggest sowing thyme seeds.

It fits what you need - evergreen, quite low growing and will self seed to keep itself replenished.

All you'll need to do is weed round and whip out the brown bits as they die off.

Hope that helps :-)
