Trailing Flowering Bacopa
Chaenostoma cordatum (syn. Sutera cordata)
Seasonal plants · Planned variety
Meet your green friend.
Small white flowers and tiny green leaves spill over basket edges. This is ornamental bacopa, distinct from aquatic water hyssop.
A space where it can thrive
Grow outdoors in a position suited to the plant. Containers need drainage and closer moisture checks than garden beds.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Outdoor seasonal basket
Growing in a hanging basket
Do not let the basket dry out completely; flowering can pause after drought.
Use a container with drainage and a secure support rated for its fully watered weight. Check moisture at the root ball and empty collected drainage water.

Your care routine

Keep evenly moist with free drainage. Do not let hanging baskets dry completely.
Soil & drainage

Fertilizer
Feed only as needed during active growth, following the fertilizer label.
Outdoor hardiness
Frost-tender; usually grown as a summer annual in Canada.
Humidity
Allow air to circulate between plants. Water the soil rather than wetting foliage.
Through the seasons
Trim straggling tips lightly and feed container plants during active growth.
When your plant needs help
- Drying interrupts flowering.
- Watch for aphids, whiteflies and root rot in saturated mix.
