Holiday Baby Blue Blue Spruce (Picea pungens ‘Baby Blue’) is prized for its stunning silver-blue needles and naturally compact, pyramidal shape. It grows slowly to around 20-25 feet, making it a great choice for smaller landscapes that desire the striking color of a Colorado Blue Spruce. Each stiff, short branch stands out in a dense arrangement, offering texture that pairs well with a range of garden plants. This hardy conifer shrugs off snow, cold winds, and even occasional drought once established.
Unlike artificial decorations, a live Baby Blue Blue Spruce brings fresh color indoors for the holiday season and can be planted outside when temperatures rise again. Its softly scented needles add a crisp, woodsy note to living spaces, offering a seasonal reminder of nature. Enjoy its cheerful presence during winter, then transition it outdoors as a lasting part of your landscape. This eco-friendly approach offers an authentic holiday feel without contributing to plastic waste.
Holiday Baby Blue Blue Spruce Care
Keep your Spruce in a brightly lit, cooler area from January until your region’s final frost date, watering sparingly so the soil remains just slightly damp. Rotate the pot occasionally to help maintain its symmetrical shape. Remove any fallen needles and keep away from direct heat sources to preserve its rich color.
Once outdoor temperatures stay above freezing, set the tree outside for short stints each day to acclimate it to changing weather. Choose a sunny, well-drained location for planting, digging a hole as deep as the container and about twice as wide. Backfill with loose soil, water thoroughly, and consider adding a light mulch layer to help maintain soil moisture. With minimal upkeep, your Baby Blue Blue Spruce will thrive in the landscape for years to come.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
