How to grow Bacopa 'Double Blue' in NZ

Bacopa 'Double Blue' grows best in a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, well drained soil. It performs particularly well in containers and hanging baskets where moisture levels can be carefully managed. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during warmer weather. Adding compost or quality planting mix before planting will help encourage strong growth and abundant flowering. A sheltered position protected from harsh winds will help maintain the plant's attractive appearance throughout the growing season.

Bacopa 'Double Blue' care tips

Bacopa 'Double Blue' is easy to care for and flowers continuously when given regular attention. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogged conditions. Feed every few weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the flowering season to encourage ongoing blooms. Remove any spent flowers and trim back long stems if required to maintain a tidy and compact shape. Regular watering and feeding will ensure plants remain healthy and continue producing masses of attractive flowers.

Bacopa 'Double Blue' size, spacing, and growth rate
