Picea pungens glauca

Picea pungens glauca, the Colorado Blue Spruce, is a classic evergreen conifer, prized for its strong architectural form and stunning foliage colour. Its main display comes from its stiff, sharp needles which have an intense and beautiful silvery-blue colour that provides a year-round focal point. It creates a superb, formal specimen that brings colour, texture, and a strong conical shape to the landscape.

Picea pungens 'Glauca' is a very low-maintenance conifer, but its siting is the key to its spectacular colour. For the most intense and brilliant silvery-blue needle colour, it absolutely requires a position in full, open sun. It is tolerant of most well-drained soil types and does not need a particularly fertile spot to thrive. Unlike shrubs that are regularly clipped, this Blue Spruce needs absolutely no pruning.
