For those who like Picea pungens glauca Colorado springs aka Blue Springs .

Here are numerous cultivars that are common in cultivation . Please note that it is several cultivars , but among those who love this conife rs and prefer pure form , no hint of other colors comes only one account of a si lvery - white with a very minimal share of blue - Argentea.Something like a blu e rose for conifers . The result of a study conducted for this plant at the Faculty of Agriculture in Colorado Silver is grown with : a) older stems of 15 years and upward b ) lower branches , can mean and peak c) in december at the coldest possible day or a few cold days in a row d) in place with alkaline soil and treated with hormones or seed treated substra te for Square Root of woody plants ( rhizopon III) e) seedlings should not be higher than 10-14 cm and less than 4 cm Seedlings grown under these conditions are easier to receive and the success rat e is 68-85 % . Grown seedlings do not have to be the same color as the parent plant (the one fr om which you took the material - mom) , including the seeds and seedlings. Growing in April showed only 12-25 % succes rate any soil from the higher branc hes with young plants. In thousands of seeds only about 1 % can be Argentum - by color and shape if the parent plant is any other cultivar . After the age of 15 there is progressive (rapidly) growing , can reach more tha n 25-45 cm per year in height and width . After the age of 15, a color that is the color of the leaves that the plant will have until the end of life , yellow green cultivar that remains after 15 years is not ill but remains the same.Cultivar that is up to 15 years of age was a si lvery blue , and thereafter changed color, stays with changed color. Argentum is one of the nicest and hardest seeded cultivars , because of genetic predisposition , which makes him a specific silver- gray , and later silver whi te. Therefore, if you bought a yellow-green or green turquoise , blue or green , don `t be dissapointed.In the same reason because artificially controlled breeding can not predict heritage-color.You can be a very surprised when after one year in the garden you see that your seedlings have became just silvery .
