Description
The Picea glauca 'Perfecta', also known as the white spruce, is a compact, slow-growing conifer that is excellently suited for small gardens, patios, or balconies. This variety remains beautifully green in winter and retains its dense, conical shape throughout the year.
Features:
Pot size: P15 (round pot)
Height: 35-40 cm (excluding pot)
The Picea glauca is low-maintenance and grows slowly, meaning pruning is rarely necessary.
This conifer thrives in both full sun and light shade and is resistant to cold and wind, making it suitable for Dutch winters as well.
Use: This conifer is ideal for use in borders, rock gardens, or as a solitary plant in a pot on the patio. Due to its compact size, it is easy to place in smaller gardens or urban environments.
Maintenance tips:
Water the plant regularly, especially during dry periods, but ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.
Although this conifer is hardy, a layer of mulch can help protect the roots from extreme frost.
Combinations: Picea glauca 'Perfecta' looks great alongside other evergreen plants such as Juniperus chinensis Stricta or Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwoodii', which together form a beautiful winter planting.
This conifer is an ideal choice for those looking for an evergreen, decorative plant that remains attractive all year round.
