Little Spruce Tree - Big Spruce Style!
Short and squat, the Blue Wonder Spruce Tree (Picea glauca 'Blue Wonder') has all of the form, color, and style that you love in a classic Spruce Tree! But in a smaller, compact, and tidy package that makes it perfect for modern and urban gardens!
Blue Wonder actually is everything you love about these classic evergreens including truly beautiful blue-gray foliage all growing season! This unique color really stands out in the garden and shines amid other evergreens!
Rugged native cultivars of Colorado Blue Spruce Trees, Dwarf Spruce are incredibly hardy throughout USDA planting zones 2 - 8. Handling extreme winter chill and summer heat with ease! It is very low maintenance and pest-free, extremely cold hardy, too, so bring on the winter!
Landscape Application:
Blue Wonder is perfect for any sized garden because of its small footprint - only growing about 6 feet tall and just 3 feet wide!
If you have a smaller garden, Dwarf Spruce adds dramatic color and texture without taking up valuable space. Plant one as a specimen and mini Christmas tree, or as a focal point by your front steps. Elevate yours onto a kidney-shaped berm for a unique little accent in your front lawn!
If you have a larger property, use multiple trees as a striking hedgerow, or zig-zagging rows as a privacy screen around a swimming pool! Wildlife flock to the dense branching for shelter and nosy neighbors won't get a direct view into your yard.
Try a row along the front yard by the sidewalk to set some friendly visual boundaries to separate your yard from a busy street.
Blue Wonder even does well in large containers so it can be located (and relocated) around your patio or balcony. For something different, use a pair by your door or garden gate for a show-stopping entryway!
- Stunning Year-Round Grayish-Blue Color
- Dwarf Compact Evergreen
- Perfect Conical Shape Without Pruning
- Great Hedge or Windbreak
- Perfect For Containers & Sized Just Right For Modern Lots
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Spruces need full sun to grow their best, so choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and regular moisture access when young. Keeping its Colorado Spruce durability that thrives in mountains, Blue Wonder handles just about any soil type, even rocky and sandy soil, so plant it where you need it.
Established trees can be more drought-tolerant and only need a good watering before winter to help them resist wind burn from drying northern winds. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch will help your plant remain stress-free all its life.
Blue Wonder grows into a natural Christmas tree shape that doesn't require much pruning. It will look great everywhere without the work!
- Simple To Grow In Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soils
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Low-Maintenance - Rarely Needs Pruning
- Drought, Pest & Disease Resistant
Let this showy dwarf conifer put on a big show in your landscape without taking up much space! The Blue Wonder Colorado Spruce Tree brings new wonder to your garden this year! Order soon, before NatureHills.com sells out!
