4 ANNUAL BACOPA ASSORTMENT
The 4” Annual Bacopa Assortment offers a charming blend of miniature five-petaled blossoms in shades like pure white, lavender-blue, blush-pink, and sometimes bicolors. Known for its graceful trailing habit and nonstop flowering from spring through the first frost, bacopa is a top choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, mixed containers, and groundcover plantings. Its delicate blooms rest atop small, scalloped foliage, creating a soft, romantic cascade of color.

Sun Requirements ▾
Thrives in full sun to part shade.
Prefers morning sun or dappled light with afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates.
Blooms best with at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight.
Watering Instructions ▾
Keep soil consistently moist.
Bacopa demands regular watering—if it dries out even briefly, it may drop buds and pause flowering for days.
Water deeply, then maintain even moisture. Never let it sit in waterlogged soil.
Care Tips ▾
Soil
Prefers rich, well-draining soil with organic matter.
Grow in garden beds with amended loamy soil or use a high-quality potting mix in containers.
Ensure pots and hanging baskets have adequate drainage holes.
Fertilizer
Feed every 1–3 weeks.
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer regularly—every 1–2 weeks for containers, 2–3 weeks for garden beds—to support continuous bloom.
Yellowing foliage and sparse flowers often indicate the need for feeding.
Humidity
Enjoys moderate humidity with good airflow.
Bacopa tolerates warm, humid conditions but prefers good circulation to avoid fungal issues.
In very hot weather, foliage may fade—gentle pruning can help rejuvenate appearance and blooms.
Bloom & Seasonal Notes
Flowers nearly nonstop from late spring until frost.
Delicate, dime-sized blooms can trail 12–36" depending on variety.
Most types are self-cleaning—you don’t need to deadhead spent blooms; older growth is naturally replaced by new flowering shoots.
Planting & Maintenance Tips
Planting time: After the danger of frost has passed in spring.
Spacing: Plant 8–12" apart in beds; single plant per 4‑inch container works beautifully.
Pruning: Trim back mid-season if becoming leggy to encourage fresh, dense growth.
Heat impact: In extremes over 90°F, flowering may decline—move to partial shade or water more frequently to maintain performance.
