Planting & Care

Plant in spring or autumn in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Blue Arrow thrives in full sun, which enhances its blue-silvery colour, though it tolerates partial shade. It's adaptable to most soil types including poor, dry, and alkaline soils. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it's drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser in spring. Minimal pruning required - the naturally columnar form maintains itself. Simply trim lightly in late spring if needed to tidy any stray growth. Avoid cutting into old wood.
