White Spruce ‘Rainbow’s End’
FamilyPinaceae
Picea glauca 'Rainbow's End', also known as 'Rainbow's End' White Spruce, is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a very dense conical habit, prized for its distinctive spring coloration. This selection, originating from the 'Conica' type, stands out with its golden-yellow new growth that appears in late spring, creating a spectacular luminous effect at the tips of the branches, contrasting with the mature medium-green foliage. Compact and naturally structured, Picea glauca 'Rainbow's End' maintains a regular silhouette without pruning, making it ideal for rockeries, foundation plantings, and small formal gardens. It prefers full sun exposure to intensify its coloration and well-drained soil. Very hardy and durable, it provides permanent structure and a seasonal touch of color to northern landscapes.
