It features striking silver-blue needles that retain their vibrant color year-round, adding contrast and texture to the landscape. The needles are short, stiff, and slightly prickly, arranged radially around the branches. As the plant matures, it may develop a more irregular mound-like shape but remains a low-maintenance and visually appealing focal point in gardens. This low-maintenance, ornamental evergreen is ideal for rock gardens, foundation plantings, or as a specimen plant in small gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"602\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"600\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMature height: 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMature spread: 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eGrowth rate: Slow (2 to 4 inches per year)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"826\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"775\"\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers full sun for best coloration and growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"917\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, loamy, or sandy soil; tolerates slightly acidic to neutral pH.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"933\"\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate watering; drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1158\"\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal pruning required; can be lightly shaped in late winter to early spring if desired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA zones 2–8; highly cold-hardy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003ePests\/Diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally pest-resistant but may be susceptible to spider mites or needle cast in overly humid conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1570\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eThis low-maintenance, ornamental evergreen is ideal for rock gardens, foundation plantings, or as a specimen plant in small gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iseli Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41951672926263,"sku":"613003","price":172.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3306\/8855\/files\/SpruceGlobeBlue.jpg?v=1739295435","url":"https:\/\/sherwood-greenhouse-and-gardencentre-ltd.myshopify.com\/products\/spruce-globe-blue-dwarf-3-gal-is-1","provider":"Sherwood Greenhouse and Garden Centre Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
