About this Plant
This Bacopa (Sutera cordata) is a garden classic, beloved for its ability to create a cascading "snowfall" of delicate white blooms. This evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial is one of the most popular choices for gardeners looking to add a soft, elegant touch to their cool and warm-season displays.
Featuring a lush carpet of tiny green leaves, 'Snowflake' produces masses of small, star-shaped white flowers from spring all the way through fall. Its trailing nature makes it the quintessential "spiller" plant for hanging baskets, window boxes, and the edges of decorative patio pots. Remarkably versatile, it also performs beautifully as a flowering ground cover, quickly filling in gaps with a dense mat of blooms that thrive in both sun and partial shade.
Why you’ll love it:
- Classic Snowfall Effect: Smothered in small white flowers for a prolific, long-lasting display.
- Quintessential Spiller: The perfect trailing plant to soften the edges of any container or hanging basket.
- Versatile & Adaptable: Thrives in various light conditions, from full sun to dappled shade.
- Dense Ground Cover: Quickly creates a low-growing (2–6 inches) floral carpet to suppress weeds.
- Continuous Blooms: Provides reliable color from the first breath of spring until the autumn frost.
This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in sun to part shade. To keep it looking its best, provide ample and consistent water when planted in full sun, and ensure well-drained soil to avoid overwatering in shadier spots. With a spread of up to 18 inches, it is a fast-growing essential for any professional-looking planter. Hardy in USDA Zone 9; often enjoyed as a high-performance annual in colder climates.
