Plant Features

Scopia® Gulliver Blue Bacopa Plants produce lovely pale blue-violet flowers that contrast perfectly with its sunny yellow eye atop its semi-trailing evergreen foliage. A refreshingly sweet display of non-stop flowers that are both reliable and easy to care for. Gulliver Blue does best with full sun but will handle light shade just fine. Plants are most often used in hanging baskets and containers; however, they can be used as a ground cover when grown in beds. Soil should be well drained. Bacopa attracts bees.

 

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 6-12 inches apart, depending on the variety

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.5

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
  • - Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause flower drop

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season
  • - Reduce fertilizing in late summer to prepare for winter dormancy

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushiness and promote more flowering
  • - Trim longer stems to maintain desired shape, especially in hanging baskets

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
  • - Monitor for diseases such as root rot and powdery mildew

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Produces small, delicate flowers along trailing stems
  • - Blooms continuously from spring through fall

Light Requirements:

  • - Needs at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming
  • - In hot climates, afternoon shade can be beneficial

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Can tolerate brief periods of heat but may require more frequent watering
  • - Not frost-hardy; protect or bring indoors when temperatures drop below 40°F

Companion Plants for Bacopa:

  • - Calibrachoa: These plants offer similar trailing habits with more vibrant, petunia-like flowers
  • - Lobelia: Provides a pop of intense color, often in shades of blue
  • - Petunias: These classic annuals complement Bacopa's delicate flowers with larger blooms
  • - Verbena: Offers clusters of small flowers in various colors, creating a nice contrast
  • - Geraniums: Provide larger, showier flowers to contrast with Bacopa's small blooms

Tiny flowers. big impact

This Bacopa has tiny little purple flowers smaller than a dime with bright yellow centers that peek out and spill over the edges of my shade containers beautifully. The bright green leaves really make the flowers stand out and the plant only gets about 4 inches high, but it spreads and fills the container edges with color. I had some issues with these drying out and shriveling up, but once I adjusted the watering and moved the container to a shadier spot they bounced back. Plants arrived healthy with a few buds and lots of green foliage and were packaged very well. Excellent as a filler or spiller in container or window box arrangements.
