Touch Indigo, also known as Scaevola aemula and Fan Flower, is a flowering annual native to Australia. Danziger developed this cultivar for its semi-upright growth and prolific blooms. This plant offers a semi-trailing mounded habit of 6-10" tall and 10-16" wide, with bright blue flowers from spring through summer. Touch Indigo is heat and drought-tolerant, flourishing in full sun and bringing vibrant color to hanging baskets, landscape borders, window boxes, and mixed containers all summer.

1. Space plants 10-16" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water once per week or more often in drought.
3. Plant after the chance of frost is past and remove plants at the end of the season.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Touch Indigo, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.0-1.2 mS/cm, average daily temperatures of 68-70, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). Use night interruption or extended-day lighting for this long-day plant. Daminozide and paclobutrazol will control height. Watch for aphids, fungus gnats, and mites. You may see botrytis and root rot in overly wet conditions.
Flowering
Blue flowers bloom from spring through summer.
Pinching
Pinch once 5-10 days after transplant.
Spacing
Space containers to allow air and sunlight to reach the soil level of each plant.
Height Control
Spray daminozide at 2,500-3,750 ppm during finishing and use a paclobutrazol drench at 1-2 ppm if needed.
Pests
You may see aphids, fungus gnats, and spider mites.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease, but botrytis and root rot can develop in wet conditions. Use preventative measures in your greenhouse and a broad fungicide drench after transplanting.
1. Water at the base of each plant, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Space containers so airflow and sunlight can reach the soil level of each plant.
Planting Touch Indigo Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch or gallon container or three per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in the container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
