Plant Care
Baby Blue Eyes Spruce is relatively low-maintenance once established. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for conifers. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring if needed to maintain shape.
Planting Instructions
Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, tamping down gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
