Bacopa (Sutera cordata), commonly known as bacopa or trailing bacopa, is a low-growing, spreading annual prized for its delicate blooms and cascading habit. Producing an abundance of small flowers in shades of white, pink, or lavender, it provides continuous color from spring through fall in North Florida and South Georgia. Its trailing growth makes it especially popular for hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed containers, while also serving as a soft edging plant in garden beds.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; do not allow to dry out completely
• Pruning: Lightly trim to encourage branching and maintain fullness
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, water-soluble or slow-release fertilizer regularly during the growing season
