Bacopa is an excellent hanging basket and container plant. Until recently it
was only available from cuttings, now there is a seed raised version called
Topia, available in 3 varieties, Bacopa Blutopia, Snowtopia and a mixture of
blue and white. The plants are naturally self branching so require no pinching
back, they quickly fill the container and cascade over the side. An abundance
of flowers cover the plants in hanging baskets and containers.
Blutopia - Abundance of pale blue flowers covering the whole plant, image
shows a more darker blue than normal. Use in hanging baskets, flower bags and
containers for a dramatic effect. Flowers approx 10 days earlier than
snowtopia, smaller leaves and more mounded habit.
Snowtopia - Abundance of white flowers covering the whole plant. Use in
hanging baskets, flower bags and containers for a dramatic effect.

Seed Germination & Planting Seeds
Germinate Petunia Wave series at 22-24C, sow seed thinly onto compost in
trays, pots or plu cells, do not cover the seed with compost or vermiculite.
Shade from direct sunlight and cover trays with glass to maintain humidity.
Seed should be ready for transplanting approx 3 weeks after sowing, dependant
on conditions. Once transplanted and plants are established temperature can be
dropped to approx 10C and protected from frost, lower growing temperatures
produce well branched vegative plants. At the lower temperatures plants will
take longer to flower. Cool dry growing, allowing the plants to dry between
watering will keep the plants more compact, plants require good ventilation
and do not allow plants to be wet overnight.
