Bacopa cordata Snowtopia White

Bacopa Snowtopia White, also known as Sutera cordata, is an annual plant that blooms profusely, brightening up a large part of the summer with its charming small white flowers covering its elongated and spreading stems. It thrives in sun or partial shade, and its semi-trailing habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets.

Bacopas have woody stems that spread all around the base, quickly forming a fairly bushy plant.  On these stems, small green leaves measuring approximately 1.5 cm (1in) are arranged in pairs with toothed edges, creating a backdrop to showcase the numerous flowers of almost identical size. These flowers, generously scattered along the length of the stems, have a tubular base and open up into corollas composed of five rounded lobes. Their yellow stamens discreetly appear in the centre, giving them a miniature appearance. Thanks to their silhouette, Bacopas easily blend with all balcony plants. They can be placed alongside taller and more slender plants, but they are just as effective when grouped together. Undemanding, they appreciate the sun, as long as they are regularly and moderately watered. However, they can also tolerate partial shade, especially in hot regions. To enjoy their abundant flowering from June to October, don't hesitate to feed them with fertiliser. You can also remove dried stems from below to encourage new growth.

Bacopa Snowtopia White is perfect for brightening up a windowsill or the base of a partially sun-exposed wall. It complements pastel colours and enhances darker shades with its dazzling whiteness.
