The Dwarf Norway Spruce is a broad, spreading evergreen that grows into a low bun, 4 feet wide and 18 inches to 2 feet tall after 10 years. It continues to grow steadily, and it will reach 6 feet wide by 4 feet in time. It has striking lime-green new growth, set against darker green needles, making a colorful feature. Grow it among rocks, or in a graveled bed with other evergreens. Plant it at the edge of a terrace or patio, in a corner where two low walls meet, or on slopes and terraces. This is a very low maintenance plant.
The Dwarf Norway Spruce should be planted in full sun, in moist but well-drained ordinary garden soil. It has moderate drought resistance once established and needs no special care. It grows well in urban gardens. It is normally free of pests and diseases. Trimming is not necessary to keep its compact form, and should be avoided – the natural form is the best.
