Sutera ‘FLOWERBURST® Blue’

Common Name:
Flowerburst Blue Sutera (Bacopa)

Description:
Sutera ‘FLOWERBURST® Blue’ is a show-stopping ground cover and trailing plant, celebrated for its masses of vivid blue blooms that smother the plant throughout the warmer months. Unlike older varieties, the FLOWERBURST® series is bred for larger flowers, improved vigour, and an extended flowering season. In Melbourne gardens, ‘FLOWERBURST® Blue’ performs beautifully in hanging baskets, pots, window boxes, or as a cascading ground cover, where its colour can spill dramatically over edges. It flowers prolifically from spring through autumn, providing a long season of cheerful display. The plant’s fine green foliage forms a soft, spreading mat that contrasts beautifully with its blue blossoms. Best grown in full sun to part shade, this sutera prefers well-drained soil and regular watering, though it will tolerate short dry spells once established. Regular trimming will encourage denser growth and even more flowers, making it an easy-care choice for gardeners seeking bold colour and versatility.
