It might be living on the edge

Answer:

SHRUB

Hint:

This low-growing plant often lines gardens or borders, providing both greenery and structure without reaching tree height.

Explanation:

The clue plays on the double meaning of "edge." A "shrub" can grow along the edge of a garden or landscape, literally living on the edge. At the same time, "living on the edge" is a phrase meaning taking risks, but here it’s used as a clever misdirection to point to the plant instead.
