bacopa

Sutera cordata

Bacopa (Sutera cordata) is a popular aquatic plant with a creeping habit and small, bright green leaves. The flowers are white, lobed, and bloom in summertime. Bacopa can be grown in or just above the water. It requires full sun, moist soil, and frequent fertilizing. It is frequently used in hanging baskets and drainage ditches, where its carpet-like foliage creates a dramatic effect. It is cold hardy, fast growing, and can tolerate periods of drought. Bacopa is deer and rabbit resistant, making it excellent for natural wildlife habitats, rock gardens, and waterways. Its woody stems make it a good container or potted plant.
