Pixie Alberta Spruce

Picea glauca ‘Pixie’

Picea glauca ‘Pixie’ is a tiny Alberta-type selection of Picea glauca with short, dark green needles. Much more dense and compact than P.g. ‘Conica’, it also displays a prominent show of large, round buds that give the tree a decorated look. A petite, narrow accent for rock garden, trough, courtyard or landscape.

Many perennials and bonsai plants will have a ‘winter look’ that differs from how they look when actively growing.  Colder temperatures and short days alter the appearance of these plants as they go thru seasonal changes.  Some plants require this reboot to bloom and/or perform at their best during the growing season.  Plants may remain semi-dormant until early spring.  Rest assured that these cosmetic changes do not adversely affect the health of your plant.
