A stunning evergreen with delightful blue coloration

The ‘Baby Blue Eyes’ spruce is a delightful slow-growing evergreen that can bring a splash of color to even the smallest yards. Its striking blue-tinted needles evoke a sense of calm and charm, making it an attractive choice for home gardens and patios. As it remains compact, it's especially suited for small spaces, allowing gardeners to infuse beauty into their landscapes without overwhelming them.

Choosing ‘Baby Blue Eyes’ not only adds visual interest but also introduces twelve months of liveliness to your outdoor space. Its subtle growth pattern allows it to seamlessly complement other plants, making it a versatile member of your garden family. It prefers areas that avoid prolonged heat and humidity, where it will reward gardeners of all experience levels with dependable color and structure year after year.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a site that offers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Add a layer of mulch around the plant.

2. Watering: During the first year, water the 'Baby Blue Eyes' regularly until established. Afterward, it is relatively drought tolerant, but keep an eye on moisture, especially in dry spells.

3. Pruning: Pruning is optional but can be done in early spring to maintain shape or remove dead or damaged branches. Light trimming encourages denser growth and enhances its appearance.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize once in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season to prevent tender new growth before winter.
