Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca 'Conica') is a slow-growing evergreen with a naturally tight, pyramidal shape and soft, bright green needles. This tidy conifer adds symmetry and structure to garden beds, entryways, and patios—often used in pairs or in decorative pots. Its dense foliage stays vibrant year-round and requires very little pruning to maintain its shape. Best in full sun and well-drained soil, it’s a cold-hardy choice that delivers classic evergreen charm without overwhelming the landscape. Perfect for small spaces or formal designs.
