Sutera cordata Thunb. Kuntze
Sutera cordata is used as a groundcover plant for edging flower beds and the foreground of borders. Its key feature is the ability to self-clean spent flowers and branch actively without the need for pinching.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Bacopa, where this is mentioned in the description.
When planning bedding designs with Sutera cordata, its high demand for a stable water regime must be taken into account. The plant reacts extremely negatively to both the drying out of the root ball and waterlogging, rapidly losing turgor if the moisture balance is disrupted.
The agrotechnical specificity of the crop lies in the fact that no pinching is required to form a dense habit. However, excessive nitrogen application is unacceptable, as it leads to overabundant vegetative growth at the expense of flowering. Under extreme heat conditions, the decorative quality may decrease in varieties without specific breeding resistance.
