Bacopa spp. White

Common Name:
White bacopa

Description:
Bacopa spp. ‘White’ is a delicate, trailing flowering plant admired for its profusion of small, crisp white blooms and soft cascading habit. It is a popular choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, pots, and as a low-growing ground cover where it can spill elegantly over edges and soften hard lines in the garden. Flowering continuously from spring through summer and often into autumn in Melbourne conditions, it performs best in a sunny to partly shaded position with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Its fresh white flowers pair beautifully with other seasonal colours, and occasional trimming will help maintain a compact shape and promote ongoing blooming.
