PICEA GLAUCA ‘CONICA’ / DWARF ALBERTA SPRUCE

Compact, Pyramidal Evergreen with Year-Round Beauty
Picea glauca ‘Conica,’ commonly known as Dwarf Alberta Spruce, is a slow-growing, compact evergreen prized for its dense, conical shape and soft, bright green foliage. This low-maintenance conifer adds year-round structure and elegance to gardens, foundation plantings, and container displays. Its naturally uniform shape makes it a favorite for both formal and informal landscapes.

Why Choose Dwarf Alberta Spruce?

Comparison: ‘Conica’ is more compact and slow-growing than standard White Spruce, making it ideal for small spaces. It has a naturally symmetrical form, unlike other needled evergreens that may require shaping.

Companions: Pairs beautifully with flowering shrubs like Hydrangeas or perennials such as Hostas. Complements low-growing junipers, boxwoods, or ornamental grasses in mixed plantings.

Key Features:

  • Perfect Pyramidal Shape: Naturally forms a dense, cone-like structure with minimal pruning.
  • Soft, Bright Green Foliage: Retains its fresh green color year-round, offering lasting beauty.
  • Cold-Hardy & Adaptable: Thrives in various soil types and withstands harsh winter conditions.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires little pruning and is resistant to most pests and diseases.
  • Great for Small Gardens & Containers: Ideal for foundation plantings, rock gardens, and patio containers.

Specifications:

  • Mature Height: 1.5–3 m tall
  • Mature Width: 90 cm–1.2 m wide
  • Growth Rate: Slow (5–10 cm per year)
  • Sun Exposure: Full sun
  • Hardiness: Zone 3–8

Dwarf Alberta Spruce is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a compact, easy-care evergreen with a classic conical form. Whether used as a specimen plant, a formal accent, or a container centerpiece, its dense, bright green foliage provides year-round beauty and structure.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
