Picea glauca 'Pixie Dust'

Common Name: Pixie Dust Alberta Spruce

Extremely dense, compact and slow growing, the miniature selection, Picea glauca ‘Pixie Dust’, resembles P.g. ‘Conica’ in form, but offers a special feature. When the second flush of growth emerges in summer, the new tips are yellow, a surprising effect that contrasts dramatically with the deep green, mature foliage. Chosen by the American Conifer Society as 2006 Collector’s Conifer of the Year, this adaptable cultivar produces a magical effect in trough, container or rock garden. Provide ample moisture and full sun for the best color on this sport of ‘Pixie’ that was discovered at Iseli Nursery. (Iseli Nursery)
