Why We've Fallen for 'Swathe Planting' — The Low-Maintenance Flower Bed Trend That Gives You Better Blooms

A colorful garden.

Also known as 'mass(ed) planting' or 'planting in drifts', swathe planting — a technique that's been around for decades — is the perfect way to give your garden a grand, eye-catching look. It dictates that colorful plants be grouped in swoops, drifts, and rivers, giving the garden a pop of color and pattern.

What's more, this method can be used in large or small, modern or cottage-style backyards, and the results are always spectacular and draw the eye. If you're looking to update and add a modern touch to your garden, then this could be the best way.
