Picea glauca 'Blue Teardrop', known as the 'Blue Teardrop' white spruce, is a compact ornamental conifer valued for its narrow silhouette and luminous silvery-blue coloration. This variety forms a small, dense, and elegant pyramid that adds verticality and structure to rock gardens, dwarf conifer beds, and small gardens. Its short bluish-green needles with silvery reflections create a fine and regular texture that remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its slow growth and naturally symmetrical shape resembling a teardrop, this spruce maintains a neat silhouette for a long time without requiring pruning. Very hardy and durable, it tolerates cold climates and ordinary well-drained soils well, while preferring full sun locations to maintain foliage density and coloration.
