Blutopia Blue Bacopa

Very happy to see the healthy plants right out of the box. They look better than when I bring plants home from the local nursery in my car. A few days in the hanging basket and the plants are already showing their vigor.

Blutopia Bacopa

Lovely plant. Hard to locate. Arrived in great condition super packaging!

Healthy vigorous plant

This is one of my favorite Bacopa plants! Small but vibrantly blue flowers cover this bushy plant, which trails nicely and weaves in and out of the other flowers in a container. A great filler and a spiller!
