Picea Pungens (Glauca Group) Hoopsii | 7 Litre Pot

An evergreenly conifer with prickly, silvery-blue needles. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained neutral to slightly acid Rate of growth: slow Hardiness: fully hardy A beautiful, compact, blue spruce that would make an excellent specimen tree for a winter border or lawn surrounding bed, ‘Hoopsii’ develops into a conifer of narrowly conical growth. The dense needles are silvery-blue, almost as though they carry a layer of frost all year round, making this a perfect evergreen foil for other winter interest plantings such as colourful dogwoods and scented viburnums. Garden care: Remove any competing leaders that appear in spring, and at the same time, cut out any weak or misshapen shoots.
