Picea abies Glauca Pendula

Blue Weeping Norway Spruce

Blue Weeping Norway Spruce (Picea abies ‘Glauca Pendula’) combines drooping branches with gray-blue needles. The cool foliage color softens its irregular silhouette and distinguishes it from greener forms of weeping Norway spruce.

Staking a leader gives the plant height, with the remaining branches hanging around that framework. Its eventual shape depends on training, so plan the support and available space together.

Grow in full sun. Choose soil that drains freely and water during establishment.

Size (about 10 years)
• Height: 6 ft
• Width: 4 ft
Plants can continue growing beyond these ten-year estimates. Dimensions assume a staked leader; training determines the outline.
