Description

Bacopa Blutopia Blue or Sutera cordata is an annual plant that produces an abundance of flowers throughout the summer with its charming small lavender-blue flowers covering elongated stems that spread in all directions. It thrives in sun or partial shade, and its semi-trailing habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets and balcony planters.

Bacopas have woody stems that spread all around the base, quickly forming a dense tuft. On these stems, small green leaves measuring about 1.5 cm (1in) are arranged opposite each other with toothed edges, providing a backdrop for the numerous flowers of the same size. Generously scattered along the length of the stems, the flowers have a tubular base and corolla composed of five rounded lobes. The stamens discreetly protrude from the orange centre, creating a pleasing contrast with the blue petals. Thanks to their shape, bacopas easily complement other balcony plants. They can be placed alongside taller and more slender plants, but they are just as effective when grouped together, forming a beautiful coloured cushion. They are undemanding and appreciate the sun, as long as they are regularly and moderately watered. However, they can also tolerate partial shade, especially in warm regions. To enjoy their abundant flowering from June to October, don't hesitate to feed them. You can also remove the dried stems below to encourage new growth.

The Bacopa Blutopia Blue is essential for romantic settings and pairs perfectly with pastel shades. However, it also enhances brighter colours in the yellow-orange range, reminiscent of the centre of its flowers.

Planting and care

Bacopa Blutopia Blue is preferably sown under shelter in a seed tray from the month of March. If frost is still persistent in your region, wait until April as the seeds will prefer a temperature close to 20°C (68°F).

Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost that you will keep slightly moist. They will germinate between 5 and 10 days. When the seedlings are large enough to be moved, you can separate them and put them in buckets if the frost period is not over and keep them warm. Otherwise, you can place them in flower boxes or pots. You can gradually acclimatise them if the nights are still cool by taking them out of their shelter during the day. Choose a rich substrate that is not too waterlogged.

To further branch out the bacopas, you can pinch the ends of the stems to encourage them to divide.
