Bacopa spp. Pink

Common Name:
Pink bacopa

Description:
Bacopa spp. ‘Pink’ is a charming trailing flowering plant grown for its abundance of soft pink blooms and delicate cascading habit. It is ideal for adding a gentle wash of colour to hanging baskets, decorative pots, window boxes, and the front of garden beds where it can spill gracefully over edges. Flowering prolifically from spring through summer and often into autumn in Melbourne conditions, it performs best in a sunny to partly shaded position with moist, well-drained soil. Its fine-textured foliage and compact spreading growth make it a versatile choice for mixed seasonal displays, while light trimming through the season helps keep it neat and encourages ongoing flowering.
