Dwarf White Spruce
Picea glauca ‘Conica’
The Dwarf White Spruce, or 'Conica', is one of the most popular and reliable dwarf conifers in the world. This incredibly slow-growing, dense cone forms a perfect, soft-green pyramid of fine needles. Its neat, compact habit and bright green color make it an ideal choice for formal accents, foundation plantings, containers, or even topiary. It's a classic, low-maintenance workhorse for adding elegant evergreen structure to small spaces.
