Lemon Bacopa (Bacopa caroliniana) is a charming, short-lived perennial groundcover that adds beauty and functionality to aquatic environments. Growing to a height of just 0.25 to 0.5 feet, this low-growing plant forms a mat-like appearance, making it ideal for covering the soil in moist, sandy areas. Its delicate, showy blue flowers provide visual appeal, while its versatility allows it to thrive not only in full sun but also in aquatic settings, including water gardens and aquariums.
This adaptable plant roots easily through division or stem cuttings, ensuring effortless propagation and maintenance. Lemon Bacopa serves as the larval host plant for White Peacock butterflies (Anartia jatrophae), making it an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly and biodiversity-focused landscapes. Its dual role as an ornamental and ecological contributor highlights its value in both garden and aquatic settings.
