TypeConiferous
Botanical namePicea pungens 'Pendula'

Picea pungens 'Pendula' is a spectacular weeping form of the Colorado blue spruce, with a narrow, cascading habit, often trained with a staked trunk to guide its verticality. Its rigid, arching branches cascade down the trunk, creating a unique and sculptural silhouette, perfect as a specimen plant or architectural accent in the garden. Its dense, prickly silver-blue foliage remains ornamental all year round, enhancing its visual impact in every season. Very hardy, undemanding, and resistant to harsh weather conditions, it prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil. 'Pendula' combines graphic form, luminous foliage, and moderate growth, ideal for integrating movement and verticality into landscape designs.
