Bacopa MegaCopa™ White

Order WebTrack
Medium Trailing
  • This series of bacopa is notable for its well-branched habits, large flowers and improved heat performance.
  • Controlled habit is grower-friendly and offers better centerfill than other bacopa.
  • Largest flower size in the industry, with showy blooms that cover the plant, driving impulse sales at retail.
The choice for baskets, and the heat performance is much better than the industry standard. Good for mixes, too. (Replaced Abunda Giant White.)
