Mosaic planting is a new idea you may have heard about lately, especially if you take an interest in more natural landscape design ideas. It's shaping up to be a key garden trend in 2026, a design choice based around the idea of shifting towards relaxed planting but with a much more designed, intentional feel than simply scattering wildflower seeds.

They can create so-called false meadows, that often have a short life span, with one dominant variety taking over and blanketing everything else.
