MegaCopa™ Series Bacopa (Sutera)White is the choice for baskets, and the heat performance is much better. Good for mixes, too. (Replacement for Abunda Giant White)

Versa White finishes in a quart or 4-in. (10-cm) pot earlier. Hides older flowers better with more flower cover in small containers. (Replacement for Abunda Colossal White)

Other colors match White for habit. White

EnduraScape™ Series VerbenaAdds two new colors and an improvement

Breakout verbena series battles extremes – stays in flower and keeps its color longer in the heat. Plus it’s hardy to the low teens.

Definitely tougher than the rest.

NEW Magenta: Vibrant pink color.
