More About Bacopa ‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’

Bacopa ‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’ is a premium trailing bacopa known for its exceptionally large flowers and strong, cascading growth. The soft blue to lavender blooms are noticeably bigger than those of standard bacopa, creating a fuller, more impactful display that holds color well throughout the season.

As part of the Scopia® Gulliver series, this variety was bred to deliver improved vigor and better warm-weather performance. Where older bacopa types can stall or thin out during summer, ‘Gulliver Blue’ continues to flower steadily, maintaining a dense, trailing habit without the need for deadheading.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’ has performed exceptionally well in containers and hanging baskets, especially in bright light with consistent moisture. It fills space quickly, trails evenly, and keeps blooming from spring through fall with minimal maintenance.

We especially like its design flexibility. The cool blue blooms pair beautifully with whites, yellows, and bold foliage plants, making it an excellent spiller in mixed containers and window boxes. Flowers are self-cleaning, and the plant stays tidy and attractive even through periods of heat.

‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’ vs. Other Bacopa

For gardeners who want a Bacopa with strong color presence but controlled growth, Scopia® Gulliver Blue is the most versatile choice of the group. Compared to Gulliver White and Gulliver Pink, its deeper blue blooms give it more visual weight and contrast in mixed containers. Where the white and pink forms lean softer and lighter in appearance, Gulliver Blue reads bolder and more saturated. 

When placed alongside the MegaCopa™ Series, the difference in scale becomes clear—MegaCopa varieties feature noticeably larger flowers and a fuller, more aggressive trailing habit, while Gulliver Blue stays more refined and balanced, making it easier to integrate without overpowering companion plants. The result is a dependable, easy-to-manage Bacopa that provides impact, excellent branching, and season-long performance.
