    I have grown the blue and white varieties of this for the past 3 years in hanging baskets and other containers and the performance is stunning, flowering for some 6 months. I thought I had read somewhere of a yellow variety but having trawled round a few seed sites I can't find them available anywhere. Does anyone know the existence of a yellow flowering Bacopa and if so it's availability?

      Hello Justracing , I have also grown the Blue and White Bacopa from seed for 3 years . I think T and M were the first to introduce them , but other companies do sell them now. They are easy to grow from seed , even though it looks like you have bought some chalk dust ! I got 15 plants from each packet of "10 seeds " last year :dbgrtmb: Which is not bad.
      I have never seen the yellow variety sold as seeds .

      Thanks Harry S, similar story here. Found some 'mixed' at Nicky's nursery and a few others but no yellow. I'm pretty sure a small private GC near me had some plug plants last year along with some pink?(could be mistaken). I will post if I find some.

      Bacopa 'Golden Leaves' is the variety I have grown for the last 5 years but it is only available in plug form.

      I had the white and blue too. I never knew they did anything but white so it was a nice find.

      I hope I managed to salvage them they are under wraps in a pot with a palm.
