Bacopa

Bacopa or Sutera cordata are a non-hardy, summer flowering perennial plant used as an annual. It forms cascades of numerous delicate flowers, varying in size and colour depending on the varieties. The tubular flowers are arranged along trailing stems and their petals are grouped around a very bright yellow centre. Bacopa are superb on balconies where they generously fill containers and hanging baskets from June to October. They are undemanding and easy to grow, preferring a sunny exposure or light shade in the hottest regions, as well as regular, but moderate watering. To encourage and support their long flowering period, we recommend fertilising them a few times during the season.
