Summer-long cascade of colour

Bacopa 'Topia Mix' (Sutera cordata) is a popular trailing annual prized for its profusion of delicate blue, white, and lavender flowers. Native to South Africa, Bacopa produces a summer-long cascade of blooms above lush green foliage, creating a vibrant display in hanging baskets, window boxes, and patio containers.

• Growth Habit: Compact yet expansive, each plant grows up to 15cm (6in) high and spreads as much as 60cm (24in), elegantly trailing over the edges of pots or baskets.
• Flowering Period: Expect non-stop colour from late spring right through to the first autumn frosts.
• Perfect For: Hanging baskets, mixed containers, window boxes, and as a softening filler alongside petunias, lobelia, or fuchsias.

How to Grow Bacopa 'Topia Mix'

• Planting Time: Pot on plug plants indoors upon arrival. Move outdoors after the last frost (typically late April–May).
• Location: Prefers full sun or partial shade for best flowering. Choose a sheltered spot away from cold winds.
• Soil: Use a moist but well-drained multipurpose compost. Bacopa is not fussy about soil pH but appreciates consistent moisture.
• Caring Tips: Water regularly—do not allow compost to dry out. Feed every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser during active growth.
• Maintenance: Deadheading is rarely needed but can help encourage even more blooms. Pinch back stems early in the season to promote bushiness if desired.

Bacopa Variety Highlights

• 'Topia Mix': Combines soft blue, crisp white, and pale lavender flowers for a harmonious summer palette.

Garden Design Ideas

• Create overflowing baskets by pairing Bacopa with trailing lobelia or calibrachoa.
• Add as an edging plant in patio containers alongside upright geraniums or begonias.
• Makes an excellent softener for mixed summer bedding schemes where its airy habit complements bolder blooms.
