Picea glauca var. densata 'Whiskey Blue Hills'
Dwarf Black Hills Spruce with Bold Blue Flair
A rugged classic with a fresh twist, ‘Whiskey Blue Hills’ is a compact form of Black Hills Spruce featuring a striking steel-blue color and a dense, conical shape.

🟦 Vivid steel-blue needles with a soft, full texture
🟦 Naturally dense, pyramidal shape—no shearing needed
🟦 Ideal for small gardens, borders, and entryways
