Picea pungens Blue Diamond

Picea pungens 'Blue Diamond' is a compact, elegant conifer known for its soft, silvery-blue needles and striking, symmetrical form. Its unusual color adds a distinctive accent to any garden setting.

In Australia, the spruce thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant it in a sheltered spot, providing supplemental water during hot, dry spells and a layer of organic mulch to help retain moisture.

Ideal companions include native shrubs, ornamental grasses, and Mediterranean species, which provide contrasting textures and colors. These plants share similar sun and water needs, creating a harmonious and drought-tolerant garden design.
