Picea pungens 'The Blues'
Picea pungens 'The Blues' is a Colorado blue spruce with a flexible, weeping habit, selected for its intense silver-blue foliage and unique sculptural form. Its trunk is usually staked to achieve a vertical height, from which its branches cascade, creating a fluid, free, and very decorative silhouette. Each branch is covered with rigid, prickly, luminous bluish needles, offering a striking contrast in the landscape. Ideal for solitary planting or on an embankment, it prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure. Very hardy, 'The Blues' requires little maintenance once established, and captivates with its natural artistic form, vibrant color, and remarkable visual presence all year round.
