This small, dense globe-shaped shrub is adaptable and hardy. With intensely blue needles, it's an excellent choice for form and color in the garden. The needles are highly ornamental and remain blue throughout the winter. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but will not tolerate any standing water. Also known as Blue Colorado Spruce or Colorado Blue Spruce.
