This study explores sustainable landscape design solutions within the Romanian cultural context by examining two distinct landscape concepts that incorporate succulent and perennial plants, mainly from the Sedum genus. Both designs integrate floral mosaics inspired by traditional Romanian motifs, employing innovative planting practices. Design 1 features a modern suspended floral mosaic, while Design 2 presents a larger, historically themed landscape integrated within an ethnographic museum setting. Each design utilizedcultivars of Sedum species (Sedum acre, Sedum spurium and Sedum spathulifolium), showcasing the aesthetic, cultural, and practical implications of using succulent-based mosaics in landscape architecture. The study highlights their durability and minimal maintenance requirements, positioning them as viable options for sustainable urban landscaping.
