Abundance and Duration of Flowering — Sutera cordata
Sutera cordata Thunb. Kuntze
The flowering of Sutera cordata is characterized as profuse and continuous from spring until the first frosts, while the plant's self-cleaning nature eliminates the need for deadheading.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Bacopa, where this is mentioned in the description.
The flowering abundance of Sutera cordata is evaluated as an integral indicator of ornamental quality, where flowers are capable of completely covering the foliage. Maximum bud initiation intensity is achieved by providing at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
The duration of flowering depends directly on water and temperature regimes. In the event of moisture deficiency, the plant drops its buds, followed by a recovery period of approximately two weeks, while at extreme summer temperatures, flowering intensity may temporarily decrease even with proper watering.
Nutritional balance is critical for sustaining flowering: excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers stimulates overabundant vegetative growth, leading to a reduction in flower count and sparse foliage. The crop possesses a self-cleaning property, which allows for the maintenance of ornamental quality without manual pruning.
