Description

The Bacopa 'Scopia Double Indigo' is a very recent cultivar of Sutera that forms a very pretty cushion, with dense foliage, sprinkled with large double flowers for a bacopa, which are similar to small roses of a very bright lavender blue. This plant, suitable for mild climates, is grown as an annual and blooms abundantly from May-June to October. It allows for quick and impactful filling of hanging baskets and balcony planters, alone or in combination with other varieties as well as with all terrace plants. 

 

Bacopas are perennial plants or frost-tender shrubs of the family Scrophulariaceae, native to South Africa. The Scopia ® 'Double Indigo' selection develops slightly woody stems that spread all around the base and quickly form a rounded and very bushy plant, about 25-30 cm (10-12in) tall by 35 cm (14in) wide. They are adorned with small green and velvety heart-shaped leaves, about 1.5 cm (1in) in size, opposite and toothed at the edges. The stems are covered all summer with clusters of 3 cm (1in) wide double flowers, generously sprinkled along their entire length, originating from the axils of the leaves. The flowers of the 'Scopia Double Indigo' variety are fully open towards the sky and particularly bright. They have a tubular base and spread out in light lavender blue double corollas, almost completely concealing a small yellow heart.

 

Thanks to their silhouette, bacopas easily blend with all balcony plants. They can be paired, for example, with taller plants such as dwarf roses, pennisetums or geraniums, double Impatiens, but they are just as effective when grouped together or used as ephemeral ground cover in flower beds. The 'Double Lavender' Bacopa is perfect for brightening up the edge of a window or the base of a partially sun-exposed wall. It will accompany all pastel-toned flowers and temper the vibrant colors of trailing surfinias and fuchsias.

Planting and care

Plant your bacopas in a sunny location or possibly in partial shade in very hot regions. These plants need a light and humus-rich soil and appreciate a fertilizer input. They tolerate a periodically dry soil fairly well, but regular watering is essential to support flowering. You can plant your bacopas in a pot where they need to be watered regularly. Be careful not to let water stagnate in a saucer, as bacopa roots dislike excessive humidity. Usually cultivated as annuals, they are actually delicate perennials: by bringing them indoors at the first frost, you can extend their flowering into autumn and winter. Outdoor cultivation is possible by the seaside, with good mulching in winter. Prune lightly in March. To further branch out the bacopas, you can pinch the tips of the stems to encourage them to divide.
