Design with this plant

Overview

White Bacopa (Sutera cordata), a trailing perennial, thrives in US zones 9-11. It gracefully overflows containers, reaching 6 to 12 inches in height, with a spread of up to 2 feet. Its delicate, five-petaled flowers bloom abundantly from spring to first frost. Preferring full sun to partial shade, it requires well-draining soil and moderate moisture. Ideal for hanging baskets, border fronts, and as a ground cover, it attracts butterflies while being deer resistant.
