BACOPA ‘Giant Snowflake’

The perfect partner, Bacopa, compliments geraniums and any other thriller plants used in container combinations. The large white five-petaled flowers grow on long slender branches and will spill out of the containers they are planted in and fill in all the spaces. Vigorous and easy to grow, Bacopa prefers morning sun and afternoon shade but can tolerate anything from full sun to partial shade, as long as it does not dry out. We recommend planting it in hanging baskets, combination containers and window boxes. It is self-cleaning with no deadheading necessary.

Associate helped me pick the right planter, fertilized him, and topped with decorative rocks. All for an incredibly reasonable price and caring smiles.
