Baby Blue Colorado Spruce Care

Hardy from USDA Zones 3-8.

Grows best in Full Sun. Plenty of sunlight ensures that it has dense, attractive foliage.

Water regularly for the first growing season, 2-3 times a week. Afterward, the Baby Blue Colorado Spruce will not require as much supplementary water. Once a week is enough in average weather conditions during the second growing season. After a few years, the Baby Blue is particularly water-wise and somewhat drought-tolerant.

Baby Blue Colorado Spruce can tolerate a range of soil qualities; however, they need good soil drainage to thrive. If your soil drains poorly, plant this variety a few inches higher than the ground around it, and mound the soil. Consequently, this will help water to drain more quickly from the roots.

Fertilize with an acidic plant fertilizer in early spring and then again in early summer to encourage faster growth.
