Picea abies 'The Limey', known as Norway spruce 'The Limey', is a very decorative dwarf conifer renowned for the bright coloration of its young spring shoots. This variety forms a small, compact shrub with a dense, rounded habit that fits perfectly into rock gardens, dwarf conifer beds, and alpine gardens. In spring, new shoots emerge in a very bright lime green hue that contrasts with the dark green mature foliage. This fresh and luminous coloration brings a very lively effect to the garden before gradually turning to darker green during the season. The short, tight needles create a fine and elegant texture that remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its slow growth and great hardiness, this spruce is perfectly suited for small gardens and cold climates.
