Picea abies 'Gregoryana Parsonsii', known as Norway spruce 'Gregoryana Parsonsii', is a very compact dwarf conifer prized for its dense and irregular habit which gives it a unique character. This variety forms a small, slightly lumpy globular shrub whose short, tight branches create a rich and sculptural texture in rock gardens, dwarf conifer beds, and alpine gardens. Its foliage of short, dark green needles densely covers the branches and remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its very slow growth, this spruce maintains its compact silhouette for a long time without requiring significant pruning. Very hardy and durable, it tolerates cold climates and ordinary well-drained soils well, while preferring full sun locations to maintain dense and vigorous growth.
