PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
Blue spring flowers plus golden fall foliage give it two seasons of interest in a small package.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in steadily and returns reliably without spreading aggressively.
Maintenance
A-
Once established it is very low-maintenance; a spring cutback is about all it needs.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
A-
Its compact, mounded habit fits neatly into smaller beds and edges.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Ice for customers who want dependable blue flowers, strong fall color, and a plant deer tend to leave alone. Give it sun to part shade and average, well-drained soil.

I couldn’t be present when the tree was planted. I was very happy with the tree. It was planted correctly and at the proper height. As an arborist I see trees improperly planted frequently. Thank you!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Installation Service

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
