Picea glauca 'Pixie Dust'
Picea glauca 'Pixie Dust', known as 'Pixie Dust' white spruce, is a highly decorative dwarf conifer prized for the brightness of its young shoots and its compact habit. This variety forms a small, dense, conical shrub that fits perfectly in rock gardens, dwarf conifer beds, and structured gardens. In spring, new shoots emerge in a very light creamy yellow hue that brightens the plant and contrasts beautifully with the mature blue-green foliage. This soft coloration evokes sparkling dust, hence its name 'Pixie Dust'. The short, tight needles create a fine, elegant texture that remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its slow growth and great hardiness, this spruce is ideal for small gardens and northern climates, provided it is planted in full sun in well-drained soil.
