Picea pungens 'Super Blue'
A striking conifer that commands attention with its intense steel-blue needles, Picea pungens 'Super Blue' is a compact form of Colorado Blue Spruce. This slow-growing evergreen typically reaches a height of 3-4 metres over 10 years, developing a classic conical shape that provides year-round structure to the garden. The needles, which spiral around the branches, display an exceptional powder-blue colour that intensifies during the growing season.
The dense branching pattern creates a substantial presence in the landscape, whilst maintaining a neat, architectural form that requires minimal maintenance. Each spring, the emergence of new growth brings an even more intense blue colouration, creating a stunning contrast against other garden plants.
Thriving in full sun, 'Super Blue' adapts well to various soil types provided they are well-draining. Its manageable size and extraordinary colour make it perfect as a specimen plant, whilst its hardy nature ensures it performs beautifully in exposed sites and colder regions. Particularly effective when used as a focal point or in contemporary garden designs.
