It is an evergreen conifer with a narrow pyramidal form that might reach 10 to 12 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide at its base, showing off stunning powder-blue foliage year-round in the landscape. Conifers don't like being moved, so choose the right spot for this eye-catching beauty, preferably one with well-drained but moist soil and five or more hours of sunlight daily.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 10 to 12 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide at maturity, the Hurricane Blue Fir is ideal for an eye-catching, small focal point specimen tree in smaller landscape spaces, containers, and home foundation plantings. Two can frame an entrance or plant a grouping of three spaced 7 feet apart. It is a fine addition to conifer gardens, blue gardens, Asian gardens, Zen gardens, and rock gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  Best as a specimen, in small groupings spaced 7' or more apart, or use 2 to frame an entrance\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Hurrican Blue Fir is easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and at least 5 hours or more of direct sunlight daily. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic, leading to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So plant it in well-drained soil, whether in the ground or pots. Once established, it will tolerate short dry periods but might appreciate supplemental water to maintain moist soil during extended summer droughts.  In pots, soil moisture must be monitored more closely, especially during summer. When the top two inches of soil is dry, provide water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote: \u003c\/span\u003e Find helpful advice from our experts under the Planting \u0026amp; Care tab above on desktop monitors or below on mobile devices.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48146281037978,"sku":"D2LSC 348346237","price":48.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/abies-koreocarpa-inga-fir-5.jpg?v=1779952709","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/hurricane-blue-fir-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
