What Is a Border Plant?
A border plant is a plant which can be grown in a border, a narrow strip of landscaping which surrounds a larger landscaped feature, a path, or a lawn. Border plants are well suited to use in borders due to a number of characteristics, and there are numerous plants suitable for border planting. Gardeners looking for inspiration can ask at their local nursery, or consult a plant list on the Internet; some sites even have menu options which allow people to pick by zone, color, and other parameters to narrow down the border plant selection.
