Small borders for plants (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedges

'plants' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'small borders' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'borders' becomes 'edges' ('edge' can be a synonym of 'border').
's'+'edges'='SEDGES'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sedges that I've seen before include "Rush-like plants growing in wet places" , "Flies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
