Description
Picea pungens Globosa forms a dense, slow-growing evergreen mound with silvery blue needles that hold their color all year. Its compact, rounded shape makes a distinctive accent in rock gardens, borders, and foundation beds.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained acidic or neutral soil. Water deeply through the first few growing seasons, and remove any vigorous upright shoots that disrupt the rounded form.
