Description

A rare form of the native Colorado Blue Spruce, at only 2 feet high and 3 feet wide at maturity ‘Lundeby’s Dwarf’ is one of those special focal point plants you want to choose just the right spot for in landscape. Its compact, dense and mounding form make it ideal for use as a specimen in rock gardens, home foundation plantings, conifer gardens and containers. The stems on the horizontally layered branches are densely packed with attractive and soothing steel blue needles that hold their color year round. Ultra low-maintenance, drought tolerant when established, and cold hardy to -50F Lundeby’s Dwarf is very easy to grow in a sunny to lightly shaded environment with well-drained soil.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing slowly in a dense mound to 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide, the Lundeby’s Dwarf Blue Spruce is ideal for use as a focal point specimen in small garden spaces, home foundation plantings, conifer or rock gardens and containers. Also excellent for the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: We suggest using this unusual plant as a specimen

Growing Preferences

Lundeby’s Dwarf Colorado Blue Spruce is easy to grow in a damp to moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or wet soils can lead to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So make sure to plant this one in well-drained soil. Established plants have good drought tolerance. It grows best in full sun however in Zones 7b and 8a in the south it will prefer some shade or filtered sun during the middle of the afternoon. Once established water needs are quite low when growing in the ground. In pots, soil moisture will need to be monitored more closely, especially during summer. When the top two inches of soil is dry, provide water.
