Picea glauca var. albertiana ‘Sander’s Blue’ (White Spruce) is a dense, dwarf evergreen conifer of pointed, conical habit with perfectly uniform branching. Its fine slate blue needles when young turn green as the plant gets older, often creating a pretty bi-color effect. A slow grower, 3-6 in. per year (7-15 cm), this Dwarf White Spruce makes a glorious accent in a mixed border and is perfect in any garden settings.
