You don't actually need to put edging around a round flowerbed - whether or not you put the edging in is a purely aesthetic decision that will reflect your personal tastes and preferences. If you do decide to do an edging around your 13 foot wide flower bed, consider a six-inch edging that adds visual impact to the entire design.
An edging creates clean space between the flowers and the planter or planting area - if created properly and neatly, it can add distinctness that calls attention to the blossoms and the artful shape they are arranged in. Gardening is creative, so use your best judgment - experiment with a few different edging widths, step back, and see what looks good to you. The ability to imagine and visualize will help you ascertain what an entire edging will look like, even if you just create a tiny sample in one part of the diameter of the circle.
If you're gardening for pleasure in your own personal space, get artistic, and use some props. For example, a vintage wheelbarrow filled with soil and flowers can look amazing propped up the front or back yard. Before you begin, consider refinishing the old piece, or just leave it with a weathered finish for a true vintage effect. Then, add in an assortment of blooms and plants that complement one another. This sort of creative gardening uses everyday materials as instant "planters", and it is so easy to do. Your wheelbarrow can be a unique and charming way to add a pretty touch to your garden, and it's very low-maintenance.
Gardening should be soothing and fun - yes, there are rules to follow about how to plant and how to care for plants, but there are also many ways to just express yourself through the medium of plants, flowers, herbs, stones, and props.
