Bog Plants

Bacoba

Bacopa was once an unusual choice for your pond, but in recent years it’s become very popular in water gardening. And why not? It’s adorable! This plant has long, cascading stems that smother themselves in tiny, perfect, five-petal flowers. Since like many other bog plants this aquatic plant has ‘wet feet” meaning it likes water it is a good choice for shallow areas of your Koi pond or water gardens. It will grow happily at the pond or lake edge as well.

Unlike many plants, bacopa doesn’t tend to wilt when it gets dried out. Instead, it loses its flowers and may take two or three weeks to begin blooming again.  Keep it evenly watered for continuous bloom.

Easy to Grow  Bacopa species are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, particularly the Americas. A few are regarded as weeds  and excess stock should not be dumped in warmer regions. Most grow in moist amphibious conditions, though some like B. myriophylloides seem to be wholly aquatic.
