Bacopa
Sutera cordata
flowerBacopa is a delicate, trailing tender perennial native to South Africa, prized for its tiny, star-shaped white, pink, or purple flowers. These sprawling plants grow 6–12 inches tall and cascade beautifully from hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers. They bloom continuously throughout the growing season and are particularly valued in cool climates where they thrive longer than heat-loving alternatives.
