I recently bought two hanging pots at a greenhouse in my area. The woman that runs the the greenhouses was out, but had her son collecting money and such for her. I asked him a few questions about the plants, but he wasn’t sure. He told me it was something that sounded like pakopa/pacopa or cakopa/cokopa… but, I can’t google anything that resembles that! Anyway, to give you a rundown, I live in southern WV. The plant is in a hanging pot and it trails/hangs down over the edges. It is very green with many tiny white flowers with yellow middles. The flowers tend to be at the ends of the stems. None of the stems are upright, they all lay down and flow over the sides. I believe the tiny flowers (about 1 cm across) have about four to five different petals, but the petals are connected and it is more of a circle. I may be able to get a picture. Any help would be appreciated because I need to know how to care for it!
