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.

Bacopa ‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’ vs. Other Bacopa Varieties

Compared to standard bacopa, ‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’ offers larger flowers, faster coverage, and better heat tolerance. When compared to the MegaCopa™ series, Gulliver Blue leans slightly more toward oversized blooms with a softer color palette, making it ideal for gardeners who want maximum flower impact with a refined look.

For gardeners seeking a high-performing blue bacopa with standout flower size and season-long reliability, Bacopa ‘Scopia® Gulliver Blue’ is one of the best trailing options available.
