Colorado Blue Spruce

A relatively slow growing conifer, which is a beautiful addition to any garden, Picea pungens hoopsii puts on a show lasting up to 6 months of stunning blue foliage that can only brighten any garden. Due to its slow growth rate it will be happy in a large container for many years, if lightly pruned to keep its shape. Can also be planted as a permanent Christmas tree in a smaller garden.
