About this Plant
Epic Blue Bacopa (Sutera hybrid) is a game-changer for gardeners seeking intense color and superior performance. Unlike traditional Bacopa varieties that often feature pale or small flowers, the 'Epic' series is specifically bred for its epic-sized blooms and a saturated, bright blue hue that truly stands out in any garden setting.
This sturdy perennial herb offers a semi-trailing habit that is more resilient to varying climate conditions than older varieties. It serves as a stunning, colorful substitute for traditional Alyssum, acting as the perfect "spiller" for hanging baskets, window boxes, and premium patio containers. With a prolific blooming window from spring through fall, Epic Blue creates a dense carpet of vibrant color that softens edges and fills in garden beds with ease.
Why you’ll love it:
- Vibrant Blue Color: Features rare, bright blue flowers that are much more vivid than standard varieties.
- Extra-Large Blooms: "Epic" flowers are significantly larger, providing a more professional and lush look.
- Weather Resilient: Sturdier growth habit that adapts well to a wide range of temperatures and climates.
- Versatile Spiller: Ideal for cascading over the sides of pots or used as a colorful, low-growing ground cover.
- Pollinator Friendly: The bright blue blooms are a magnet for bees and butterflies throughout the season.
This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. To maintain its "epic" performance, provide ample water when placed in full sun, while ensuring good drainage to avoid overwatering in shadier spots. Reaching a height of 4–8 inches with a tidy spread of 10–12 inches, it is a compact yet high-impact essential for your collection. Hardy in USDA Zone 9; typically grown as a high-performance annual in cooler regions.
