Try Bacopa - I found it in white, lavender and pale pink last year. It flowered on and on until the frosts. It trails over the sides of the containers.

Thank you Spritzhenry. I shall get some Bacopa. It sounds just what I am looking for.

I can't find Bacopa in any of my gardening books or on my local Nursery website Spritzhenry. Has it got another name?

I don't know of one - I got mine as plugplants at the local Garden Centre and grew them on. They had some there last week if you can do the same. You'll also find them in catalogues (or on line) from Dobies, Mr Fothergill, T&M, etc.

I'v e just been told another name for Bacopa is Sutera Cordata.

Oooh-errr - I'll never remember that - it's Bacopa to me. :-))) Why do they have to change names?

Did you find any?

My local nursery had them Spritzhenry but they were quite large in individual pots. I spoke to one of the assistants and eventually bought a tray of white trailing lobelia which he said is similar.

It is in a way, but it doesn't flower for as long.

Thank you for your help Spritzhenry. I was told to put them out each day and bring them in at night until danger of frost has gone. Then I'll put them in the tubs and put a pic on here if they look good.

You're welcome - and yes, that's the right thing to do, but do watch the daytime temps. It's called 'hardening off'.

Can I put the lobelia and my pelargoniums in a cold frame on the patio without having to bring them in at night?
