Bacopa (Latin: Bacopa) is a genus of perennial aquatic or amphibious plants in the Plantaginaceae family, which includes about 100 species. In gardening, aquaristics, and folk medicine, two completely different species of this plant have gained the greatest popularity: Bacopa speciosa (an ornamental flower) and Bacopa monnieri (a medicinal herb and aquarium plant). Bacopa speciosa (Sutera cordata) is used as an ornamental garden plant for hanging baskets, balcony boxes, and as a groundcover.

| Bacopa (Latin: Bacopa) is a genus of perennial aquatic or amphibious plants. |
Appearance: Long drooping shoots (up to 60 cm), covered with small green leaves and an avalanche of small flowers. Color: Classic white, as well as pink, blue, lilac, and purple. Advantages: Blooms continuously from spring until autumn frosts. It has a unique "self-cleaning" property—wilted flowers fall off on their own, so the bush always looks neat. Care: Requires a sunny spot or light partial shade, and most importantly, regular and abundant watering. When the soil dries out, bacopa drops its buds.
