Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

St. Mary's spruce is one of the smallest dwarf evergreens available. Growing only 1-2 inches per year, it is a small, bun-shaped shrub. The needles are bright blue. It is a great choice where a very small evergreen is desired.
St. Mary's spruce has grown well at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It grows slowly and has a bright blue color.
No maintenance required under normal conditions. Needs regular soil moisture to become established. New growth and young plants can be susceptible to deer browsing.
