Native to South Africa, bacopa are evergreen perennials that are popular as trailing annual summer bedding plants with their long flowering season from summer through to autumn.
Also known as Chaenostoma cordatum, bacopa 'Snowflake' has small, toothed, ovate leaves, and racemes of pure-white flowers. They're perfect for creating floriferous hanging basket displays, and also look wonderful spilling over the edges of a pot or windowbox. Alternatively, use them to line pathways and soften border edges, or even scramble through the rockery.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.
Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.
To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
