Notes
'Baby Blue Eyes' Colorado spruce (Picea pungens 'Baby Blue Eyes') is a tree for use as a specimen, an accent, a privacy screen, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The columnar shape and slow growth suit narrow spaces. This evergreen is also drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Princeton Sentry maidenhair tree, Berry Poppins winterberry, and Sensitive fern.
