Dwarf Norway Spruce 1 Live Evergreen Shrub, 3 Gallon Pot – Picea abies ‘Pumila’

Pumila Dwarf Norway Spruce (Picea abies ‘Pumila’) is a slow-growing evergreen conifer valued for its compact, rounded growth habit and dense green needles. This dwarf selection of Norway spruce develops a naturally globe-shaped appearance, making it suitable for foundation plantings, rock gardens, mixed evergreen borders, and ornamental landscapes where a smaller conifer is desired.

The plant's distinctive structure features spreading lower branches and more upright upper branches, creating a layered, rounded form. Its short green needles remain on the branches throughout the year, providing consistent color and texture across the seasons. The naturally dense branching habit adds structure to garden beds and complements flowering shrubs, perennials, and other ornamental evergreens.

Pumila Dwarf Norway Spruce performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. It is especially suited to cooler climates and outdoor planting locations with good air circulation. Its slow growth and naturally rounded form generally require minimal shaping, making it an attractive choice for small gardens, specimen plantings, and decorative outdoor containers.

Each order includes 1 live Pumila Dwarf Norway Spruce supplied in a 3-gallon nursery container (G3).
