Bacopa (Sutera cordata): The Ultimate Trailing Annual for Containers

Nonstop Cascade of Blooms

Bacopa (Sutera cordata) is a top-choice annual (perennial in mild climates) for containers, thanks to its trailing habit, long bloom season, and profusion of small flowers. It spills beautifully over patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets.

New Colors

Beyond the classic white 'Snowflake', look for lavender, brick red, and the delightful blue 'Blue Showers' (Paul Ecke Ranch, Flower Fields label).

Container Recipe

In the featured pot, 'Blue Showers' pairs with Swan River daisies (Brachyscome 'Mauve Delight' and 'Jumbo Misty Pink') and Salvia × sylvestris 'May Night'.

Care

• Water: Thirsty—keep well-watered, especially in heat.
• Light: Partial shade.
• Fertilizer: Feed every two weeks with acid-type fertilizer.

A reliable, floriferous spiller for stunning container combinations.
