Picea pungens 'Thume'
Picea pungens 'Thume', also known as 'Thume' blue spruce, is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a dense, conical habit, prized for its silvery-blue coloration and slow growth. This compact selection naturally maintains a regular silhouette without pruning, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, small gardens, and structured landscapes. Its foliage, composed of stiff, prickly, intensely bluish needles, maintains a decorative hue all year round, even in winter. Very hardy and tolerant, Picea pungens 'Thume' prefers full sun exposure to maintain the intensity of its color. It adapts to various well-drained soils, including poor or slightly dry soils. Durable and low-maintenance, it adds structure and contrast to northern gardens.
