Scopia® Great Pink Beauty Bacopa

Scopia® Great Pink Beauty is a compact, early-flowering bacopa with large pink-to-lavender blooms and well-branched growth. [Danziger places it in the Scopia Great series](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/scopia-great-pink-beauty/) and lists it at 4–6 inches tall by 12–14 inches wide, making it useful in baskets and mixed planters. The cultivar is ‘Dancop35’; [its U.S. plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP21959P2/en) was granted as PP21,959 on May 31, 2011. ## Form and use The plant’s compact top and spreading stems work well at the edge of a hanging basket or near the front of a container planting. Danziger describes the flowers as large and the plant as early flowering. [Monrovia’s Scopia Great series profile](https://www.monrovia.com/scopia-174-great-bacopa.html) describes spring-to-summer flowering and a mounded, trailing habit; it recommends the series for borders, containers, and hanging baskets. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun or partial sun in fertile, freely draining soil that stays consistently moist. Avoid letting the root zone dry completely, while preventing waterlogging. In the hottest regions, afternoon shade can help. The exact plant patent reports light-purple petals with a yellow-orange throat; the commercial name Pink Beauty is retained as the cultivar’s marketed name. The patent’s trial description concerns a young container-grown specimen, so its reported trial dimensions should not be treated as a definitive mature landscape size. ## Maintenance Check containers often in warm weather and water as the mix begins to dry. A light trim can refresh the outline if stems become untidy; follow local frost timing because this tender bacopa is commonly used as a warm-season annual outside mild-winter areas.
