Scopia® Gulliver Blue Bacopa

Scopia® Gulliver Blue is a compact, semi-trailing Bacopa with large blue flowers and a well-branched habit. It brings cool-toned color to hanging baskets, window boxes, and combination planters, where its stems can trail around upright companion plants. ## Form and use [Danziger’s 2026 SCOPIA GULLIVER catalog](https://www.danzigeronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Bacopa-Scopia-Gulliver-2026.pdf) lists Gulliver Blue in the SCOPIA GULLIVER series and describes the series as early flowering, semi-trailing, and suited to combinations. Series dimensions are about 4–6 inches tall and 15–17 inches wide; the current 12–24 inch spread remains a reasonable cultivar range. The specific flower color supports a blue flower classification. ## Growing conditions [Illinois Extension’s bacopa guidance](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/bacopa) recommends full sun to light afternoon shade and moist, well-drained soil; provide consistent moisture. Bacopa may flower through warm weather when it does not dry out; afternoon shade can be helpful in very hot sites. It is typically grown as a seasonal annual in colder climates and may persist as a tender perennial in mild winters. Danziger’s [series material](https://www.danzigeronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Bacopa-Scopia-Gulliver-2026.pdf) describes it as pollinator friendly; [Monrovia’s Scopia Gulliver profile](https://www.monrovia.com/scopia-174-gulliver-bacopa.html) notes spring-to-summer flowering. ## Maintenance Check hanging baskets regularly and water when the surface begins to dry, avoiding both prolonged dryness and waterlogged mix. Trim back uneven stems when needed to refresh the outline. Inspect dense foliage for aphids and allow good air movement.
