Common Name: Flowerburst Dark Pink Sutera (Bacopa)
Description: Sutera ‘FLOWERBURST® Dark Pink’ is a vibrant and versatile trailing perennial, bred for its profusion of richly coloured dark pink blooms that cover the plant from spring through to autumn. A standout from the FLOWERBURST® series, this cultivar produces larger flowers and a more vigorous growth habit compared to older Bacopa types, ensuring a long-lasting and striking display. Its fine green foliage forms a dense, spreading mat that is quickly smothered by cheerful flowers, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, pots, window boxes, or as a cascading ground cover along walls and garden edges. In Melbourne gardens, ‘FLOWERBURST® Dark Pink’ thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It benefits from regular watering during hot, dry periods and responds well to light trimming, which promotes bushiness and continuous flowering. With its trailing habit and brilliant colour, it brings instant charm to cottage gardens and modern landscapes alike.
