{"product_id":"the-blues-weeping-colorado-spruce","title":"The Blues Weeping Colorado Spruce","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blues Weeping Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens 'The Blues') is a weeping blue spruce with unusually pale powder-blue needles on branches that hang straight down from a staked trunk, typically trained to 8 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide in zones 3 through 8. No two plants take the same form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a selection of the weeping blue spruce group, and what distinguishes it is the color. The needles are lighter and more silver than the standard weeping blue spruce, which makes the plant stand out against dark evergreens or a brick wall. Because it has no natural leader, you set the height when you stake it, and everything above that point falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant it as a lone specimen with room on all sides, at a bed corner, beside a walk, or over a boulder or a wall edge where the branches can spill. Colorado Blue Spruce is native to the Rocky Mountains and wants sun, air movement and drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight: full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater: deep watering while establishing, then moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: well drained, it will not tolerate soggy ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: stake to your target height, then let it weep, and space it for air movement to limit needlecast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd The Blues Weeping Colorado Spruce to your cart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nature Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":62370647671154,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/6356\/6133\/files\/2E6A3095.jpg?v=1789757184","url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/the-blues-weeping-colorado-spruce","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
