The Bacopa Megacopa ‘New Blue’ (Sutera cordata / Chaenostoma cordatum) is a very floriferous trailing annual, prized for its deep lavender-blue flowers that abundantly cover the foliage all summer long.
Its flexible, trailing habit makes it an excellent "spiller" plant for planters, hanging baskets, and mixed containers. It blooms continuously from spring until frost, requiring little maintenance.
It prefers sun to partial shade, with regular watering. It performs particularly well in rich, well-drained soil.
The flowers are visited by pollinators, especially bees.
