More About Bacopa ‘MegaCopa™ Pink’

MegaCopa™ Pinkis a premium trailing variety of Bacopa bred for larger flowers, stronger growth, and improved heat tolerance compared to standard varieties. What I appreciate most is how full the plant looks early on—it builds a solid base before cascading, so containers feel planted and intentional right from the start. The trailing habit is generous but controlled, giving you that lush spill without turning stringy or sparse.

As part of the MegaCopa™ Series, it was bred for strength and consistency, and it shows. Older Bacopa varieties often stall once summer heat settles in, thinning out just when containers should be peaking. MegaCopa™ Pink keeps flowering steadily, holding its shape and bloom coverage without constant deadheading or cleanup. I’ve found it far more forgiving in warm stretches than traditional selections. It’s the kind of Bacopa that behaves like a main player instead of an afterthought.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, MegaCopa™ Pink has been one of the most reliable trailing plants we grow for containers and baskets. Given consistent moisture and light feeding, it fills in quickly and keeps blooming from spring well into fall. Even in sunnier locations where standard Bacopa can struggle, this one keeps going. The plant stays full and presentable instead of thinning down to a few wandering stems. That kind of performance makes a big difference, especially  in containers.

Speaking of containers, MegaCopa™ Pink works beautifully as a spiller in mixed containers, where it softens edges and ties bold upright plants together. It pairs especially well with strong foliage plants and more structured annuals, adding movement without chaos. The flowers are self-cleaning, so there’s no constant maintenance required to keep it looking good. When someone wants a pink trailing plant that actually holds up through the season, this is one we feel confident recommending.

MegaCopa™ Pink vs. Other Bacopa

For gardeners who want dramatic color impact and abundant bloom, MegaCopa™ Pink is one of the standout choices in the group. Compared to MegaCopa White, the Pink selection brings a warmer, more vibrant tone that pairs beautifully with complementary warm hues and bold foliage plants. While MegaCopa™ Blue offers a cooler, calming contrast better suited for balancing hot color combinations, MegaCopa™ Pink is hard to beat in mixed containers.

Compared to the more restrained Scopia® Gulliver Series, MegaCopa Pink delivers larger flowers and a more vigorous, freely trailing habit. While the Gulliver varieties are known for their controlled growth and tidy branching, MegaCopa Pink pushes outward with bold pink blossoms that create a lush, eye-catching effect in hanging baskets and larger containers.
