Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens var glauca 'Pendula') are amazing specimens and focal point evergreen trees! Drooping branches spill and ramble over each other in a sculptural manner, and each tree is a unique work of art all its own!
Fantastic silver-blue needles are compact, yet weep and tumble over the plant with such character! The slim profile makes this Weeping Spruce easy to enjoy no matter how large or small your garden is!
This grafted form grows 12 inches a year, and weeps or crawls depending upon how you allow it! Cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 5, and very easy to grow, the Weeping Blue Spruce grows just 12 - 15 feet in height and spreads at the base just 6 - 8 feet wide.

If not staked, these spilling Blue Spruce can be used as a groundcover and rambling filler around the garden!

#ProPlantTips For Care
Easily manipulated to grow how you like or left to grow into their own unique form! You can either stake up these weeping trees to develop a strong straight trunk or allow them to weep and ramble over the ground. Regardless, you'll achieve a unique tree all your own!
Weeping Blue Spruce needs full sun and well-drained soils. Growing best in rich, organic medium, these tolerate a wide range of soil types, as long as they don't hold excess water. Highly drought tolerant once established, a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch holds in soil moisture and insulates the roots.
