| Content | Blue Arrow Conifer is a very hardy, narrow-growing, evergreen conifer. It has striking blue-grey foliage. It makes a very tight hedge for narrow spaces, is great for pots, and is a beautiful accent plant. ‘Blue Arrow’ likes full sun and performs best in well-drained, fertile soil.
It is recommended to mulch well to help retain moisture in summer; however, conifer blue arrow will tolerate dry periods, is frost hardy, and will cope with windy areas including coastal conditions.
It is one of the easiest-to-grow conifers that requires very low maintenance. It barely requires any pruning and produces aromatic leaves
If you have a formal landscape, then Blue Arrow Conifer would be an excellent choice. Being highly versatile, you can use this conifer species for a variety of applications including improved privacy and hedges. | | |
