Description

A stately presence in the landscape, the Bush’s Lace Engelmann Spruce makes for an elegant and highly ornamental specimen or accent plant for the refined landscape. It is a very vigorous selection adding up to 18 inches in height per year until it reaches around 25 feet tall at maturity. The soft-textured, powder blue foliage clothes branches that extend outward some before gracefully drooping downward. Native to the upper elevations of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Bush’s Lace naturally stands up to the wind, snow and cold (-40F). An elegant vertical accent in conifer gardens, rocks gardens, landscape borders or to frame the corners of tall homes and other structures.

Landscape & Garden Uses

The Bush’s Lace Engelmann Spruce is ideal for use as an accent tree in rock or conifer gardens, to accentuate an entryway, in home foundation plantings, or anywhere you want an outstanding feature plant that draws the eye and grabs attention. A fine addition to conifer gardens, rock gardens, blue theme gardens, Sen gardens and Asian gardens.

Suggested Spacing: Best as a specimen

Growing Preferences

The Bush’s Lace Engelmann Spruce is easy to grow in a damp to moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic; leading to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So make sure to plant this one in well-drained soil, whether in the ground or in pots. Once established water needs are lower 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.
