Family Pinaceae

Pinus sylvestris 'Glauca Nana', known as Dwarf Scots Pine ‘Glauca Nana’, is a compact conifer prized for its bluish foliage and naturally dense habit. This selection forms a small, conical to rounded shrub that brings structure and texture to rock gardens, dwarf conifer beds, and alpine gardens. Its short, silvery-blue to bluish-green needles create an elegant contrast with traditional green foliage and maintain their coloration year-round. Over time, the plant develops a more irregular and picturesque silhouette that adds character to landscape designs. Thanks to its slow growth and excellent hardiness, this pine is ideal for small gardens or cultivation in large containers. It prefers sunny locations and well-drained soils, also toler tolerating poor soils and cold climatic conditions.
