More About Bacopa ‘Scopia® Gulliver White’

Scopia® Gulliver White is the “organizer” of our Bacopa selections. It’s the plant that quietly pulls everything together and makes the whole planting feel intentional. I don’t use it when I want drama or bold color; I use it when something needs clarity. The flowers are a true, clean white, but what really stands out is how consistent they are. They don’t flash bright for a week and then fade into the background. Instead, they come steadily, evenly, and reliably, which gives containers a calm, finished look that lasts.

The growth habit is very different from more aggressive Bacopa lines.This is also a Bacopa that rewards patience. Early on, it looks neat and composed rather than explosive, but as the season goes on, it proves why it was bred the way it was. I’ve used it in containers where everything else was already strong—bold foliage, upright annuals, darker colors—and this plant never competed or disappeared. It just held the edges, softened transitions, and kept the container from feeling busy or chaotic. That kind of balance is harder to find than people realize.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, Scopia® Gulliver White has been one of the most predictable Bacopa we grow—and I mean that as a compliment. With regular watering and light feeding, it fills in at a manageable pace and maintains even coverage instead of racing ahead or stalling out. The trailing stays smooth and controlled, not stringy, and the bloom cycle never really stops. It’s one of those plants that looks good for a long stretch without needing intervention, which matters in real gardens.

Gulliver White is very forgiving. If it gets slightly dry, it recovers quickly. If neighboring plants grow faster than expected, it adjusts instead of collapsing. The flowers are self-cleaning, so there’s no maintenance to keep it looking fresh. I’ve used it in window boxes, patio pots, and mixed planters where the goal was longevity, not flash. It keeps containers looking clean and finished week after week. I often recommend it to customers who say, “I want something simple just works.” This is that plant. It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t fade, and it doesn’t create extra work. It quietly supports everything around it—and that’s exactly why we keep growing it.

Scopia® Gulliver White vs. Other Bacopa

For gardeners who want a clean, classic Bacopa with controlled growth, Scopia® Gulliver White is the most balanced choice of the group. Compared to Gulliver Blue and Gulliver Pink, its crisp white flowers create a lighter, brighter look that blends effortlessly into mixed containers and hanging baskets. Gulliver White stays neutral and refined, making it especially effective as a unifying plant that ties together stronger colors without competing for attention.

While MegaCopa™ Bacopas produce significantly larger flowers and a heavier, more vigorous trailing habit, Gulliver™ White remains more compact and evenly branched, offering a softer cascade that’s easier to manage and more versatile across container sizes. The result is a dependable, elegant Bacopa that delivers season-long bloom, excellent structure, and maximum design flexibility—especially where balance and restraint matter most.
