{"product_id":"montgomery-blue-spruce","title":"Montgomery Blue Spruce","description":"The Montgomery Blue Spruce gives you the rich color and strong presence of a blue spruce in a slower-growing, dwarf form that is easier to place in the home landscape. Its silver-blue needles bring cool color to sunny beds, borders and foundation plantings, while its modest growth rate of just 3–6 inches a year helps it stay useful in smaller spaces. Young plants begin with a globe-shaped look, then mature into a broad upright form that is wider than tall. Hardy to Zone 2 and suited to full sun, it offers lasting value for gardeners who want dependable structure, distinctive color and a plant that fits comfortably into everyday garden design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrings Cool Color to the Landscape\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontgomery Blue Spruce adds a clear silver-blue tone that helps break up stretches of green and gives the garden a more polished look. That color works especially well in sunny spaces, where it can highlight entry plantings, frame a walkway or add contrast among shrubs and perennials. Because the foliage color is such a strong part of its appeal, this plant gives you an easy way to make nearby plantings look more layered and intentional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFits Where Larger Spruces Cannot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dwarf blue spruce gives you more flexibility in the landscape. Montgomery Blue Spruce grows slowly, adding only 3–6 inches a year, so it is easier to place without feeling like it will quickly outgrow the spot. Its young globe-shaped habit offers a softer look early on, then gradually develops into a broad upright form that adds more structure as it matures. That changing shape gives you both early charm and long-term presence from one plant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandles Very Cold Climates with Confidence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor gardeners in colder regions, dependable hardiness matters. Montgomery Blue Spruce is hardy to Zone 2, which makes it a practical choice where winters are severe. Full sun exposure also makes siting simple, helping you use it in open areas that need a strong focal point or a steady architectural element. The result is a compact spruce that brings color, form and reliability together in one hardworking plant.","brand":"Spring Hill Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51581253419304,"sku":"15759","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5784\/1448\/files\/15759.webp?v=1774366093","url":"https:\/\/springhillnursery.com\/products\/montgomery-blue-spruce","provider":"Spring Hill Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
