A great dwarf globe with powder-blue foliage.

By: Conifer Kingdom

Coniferous, evergreen shrub with lovely blue needles. This is the exceedingly popular dwarf blue spruce. Very old plants may get up to 6' wide, but plan on a space 4-5' wide in your landscape. This spruce will get wider than tall and form a nice, tight globe. Usually available in bush or standard form. Growth Rate slow, 3-6" annually

DWARF. A flat topped, round bush of very dense habit. The needles are an exceptional glaucous blue. In a planting, this conifer becomes the focal point! Rarely seen, it should be planted much more often. It is very slow growing and must be grafted.
