Picea pungens Glauca Globosa
Globe Blue Spruce is a compact evergreen prized for its dense, rounded form and silvery-blue needles that hold their colour year-round. Naturally dwarf and slow growing, it maintains a tidy globe shape with little to no pruning, making it ideal for smaller landscapes and low-maintenance designs.
Exceptionally cold hardy and wind tolerant, Globe Blue Spruce performs beautifully in prairie conditions. Its strong structure and vibrant colour provide four-season interest, whether used as a specimen, in mixed shrub borders, or as a foundation accent.
