Picea orientalis 'Firefly'
Picea orientalis 'Firefly', also known as the 'Firefly' Oriental spruce, is an ornamental conifer remarkable for the exceptional brightness of its young spring shoots. This variety forms a compact shrub with a dense conical habit that brings structure and color to conifer beds, rock gardens, and structured gardens. In spring, new shoots emerge in a very bright golden yellow hue that seems to illuminate the plant, contrasting sharply with the dark green mature foliage. This luminous coloration persists for several weeks before gradually turning green. Its foliage, composed of short, dense needles, creates a fine and elegant texture that remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its relatively slow growth and good hardiness, this spruce is suitable for medium-sized gardens, foundation plantings, and sustainable landscaping.
