Snowstorm Blue Bacopa blankets medium bright green foliage with dainty blue/violet flowers that have an orange yellow center that appears to glow. Such a beautiful color combination, combined with a prolific long continuous blooming annual for most regions.
Native to Africa, Australia, East India, Europe and North and South America in Zones 9a through 11b, bacopa is a creeping ground cover that blooms all season long. In Zones 3-7, plant out after the danger of the last frost. This is an easy care annual that will give you much more than you put into it.
Snowstorm Blue Bacopa Care
Although bacopa thrives in part sun to full sun, it requires moderate moist soil. It is heat tolerant but can be burned by intense direct prolonged exposure to the sun in hot climates. It does not wilt when stressed by drought, instead it will drop its buds and flowers and take a couple weeks before it regains its vigor. Plant it with other annuals that do wilt as a good indicator when it needs moisture. Fertilize regularly if in containers and once a season if planted in your landscape. It prefers a soil pH of 5.5 to 5.8, so is a great companion to many other full sun to light shade annuals.
Deadheading is not required as it will bloom all season long. However, when it is first established it will respond to deadheading with increased blooming. It is well branched already, and is self cleaning. From June to October in most regions, you will have a long continuous blooming season.
Snowstorm Blue Bacopa Spacing
Air circulation is important for bacopa as it is susceptible to powdery mildew. Give plants 8 to 12 inches of space when planting out. It will grow to about 10 inches tall and spread to 24 inches wide, cascading beautifully out of containers and hanging baskets or down a rock wall. It also is a great ground cover around taller plants in your landscape.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
