The Blue Pearl Colorado Spruce is a very remarkable miniature tree, with a short trunk, topped by a flat crown of tightly-packed branches and rich silver-blue needles. This slow-growing plant will be about 6 inches tall and 12 inches across in 10 years, plus the height of the sturdy trunk. A true gem for a special place in your garden, or in a pot or planter box. You will adore watching this little beauty develop and mature, becoming a collector’s item in your garden, like owning a work of natural art. Despite its size it is easy to grow, hardy even in zone 3, and thrives in any sunny spot.
The Blue Pearl Colorado Spruce should be grown in full sun, in average well-drained soil. In a pot, use soil for cactus and succulents, and always allow the soil to dry a little between each watering. Water deeply in fall if you are growing outdoors, and keep containers a little drier in winter, but not completely dry. No trimming is required to maintain its perfect neat, round form, pests and diseases rarely affect it, and despite its tiny size, this is an easy plant to care for.
