Suggestions for a walkway border plant?
Looking for plant ideas to use as a brick walkway border. Full sun, sort of dry soil in the front of our house. In Roanoke, VA. I am thinking I don’t want anything over about a foot tall. Evergreen would be cool, but not a huge deal if that’s not possible. More on reddit.com

Low-Maintenance Garden Border Ideas: Plant Ideas
March 11, 2023 - I like garlic chives as a border plant. It’s compact and stays upright and green when it’s not in bloom. In some parts of my garden beds, groundcovers are an obvious choice for filling in gaps at the edge of a garden. I have some sedums planted close to a curb and delosperma at the edge of a garden path, and sweet woodruff in a shady border.

r/NativePlantGardening on Reddit: Grass to Walkway and Patio Area Edging Plants
May 19, 2024 -

I need some plant advice...I'm looking for some edging between some grass and a walkway/patio area, a little similar to the below photo, though smaller.

This is my current layout. The circles are for a few small plants. I was thinking maybe some native grass like Deergrass or Canyon Price Wild Rye + shrubs. I'd love advice on the shrubs you all think might look nice between grass and a walkway and patio area. This is a full sun to partial shade area. Pretty sunny overall though.

Annuals for a walkway border?
April 28, 2011 - I'd like to plant an annual bed that runs along my front sidewalk up to my deck. The bed is ready to go. It's 14 ft long by 2 ft wide. I'd like to get some fragrant annuals so that when folks walk up the sidewalk (and me lol) they get a good sniff of the flowers. I dont really care about the colors so much but they should probably be good for massing or mounding close together for effect.
