Within a few weeks it begins to take on a warm, mottled rust tone; over months and seasons it deepens and softens further. The result is edging that feels rooted in your garden rather than imposed onto it — and a lovely complement to the weathered terracotta, aged stone, and silvered timber that fills most cottage gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike galvanised or painted edging, rust-finish steel doesn't flake, peel, or need repainting — it simply continues to evolve. Most owners come to love it.
