    K&D Landscape Management Mr. Ogden......always enjoy your landscape design comments. Frequently I use the tag, "Hard lines, soft plants" to describe letting the plants drift over the edge of the walk or patio to establish some character and to take the edge off an outdoor social space. In this instance Sedum kamschaticum was used.

    ZH Design Great article! I love when plantings are spilling over bed lines or on hardscaping. It softens things so nicely and just creates something so beautiful and can make a garden feel alive. Grasses are one of my favorite things to edge a garden with. They have such movement. Ones with a lot of color create even more pop, like Hakonechloa or variegated Acorus below. While I do enjoy a nice boxwood border, perennials are what strike me as beautiful borders the most. I think its the changes they bring to the landscape, especially in the foreground of the garden. The Amsonia in full fall color is so striking along this pathway at Scott Arboretum. Another long lasting bloomer for a soft border is Nepeta.
