A patio container and hanging basket 'must have' with countless trails of tiny star-like flowers all summer long. Add Bacopa plants to mixed patio containers and hanging baskets to complement and enhance other colours. We highly recommend these vigorous mat-forming, tender perennials, which are best treated as half-hardy annuals in the UK. They flower their socks off for months on end, and have the distinct advantage of being self-cleaning, meaning they do not require deadheading to stay looking at their best.
