Scarlet Edge

$249.00

Package includes PDF download, 1:1 consultation and lifetime membership

Vertical grace for narrow spaces.

Scarlet Edge transforms the challenge of slim beds into a refined composition of structure and rhythm. At its heart, a narrow Japanese maple provides vertical elegance in rich scarlet tones, creating presence without overwhelming the space. Upright evergreens echo this rhythm, while low edging plants ground the design with crisp definition.

Compact roses add vibrant blooms from spring through frost, weaving softness into the geometry and echoing the maple’s flame. Through the seasons, layers of foliage and color bring contrast and continuity, turning the narrowest beds into purposeful beauty.
