About Amazon Blue (Blue Cat's Eye)
Amazon Blue, botanically Otacanthus caeruleus of the Plantaginaceae family, is commonly called Blue Cat's Eye or Brazilian Snapdragon. Native to Brazil, this evergreen shrub grows upright to about 1 metre and branches well in its upper part. In early autumn it produces white flowers with purplish-blue, two-lipped centers.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: A minimum of more than 4 hours of direct sunlight - full shade reduces blooming frequency. Protect from harsh direct sun in peak summer.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the topsoil (2-3 inches) feels dry; apply water in the morning or evening.
Planting & Placement
Can be grown in small pots, raised beds, or as a border plant.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based fertilizer supports more profuse flowering.
- Pruning: Generally free of major pests or disease; use neem oil spray for primary treatment if needed.
