Picea pungens 'Mrs. Cesarini' (Colorado Spruce) is a dwarf, evergreen conifer of globose habit with shiny, bright green foliage and profuse pale green buds at the branch tips. Slow-growing (1-6 in. or 2-15 cm per year), it forms a densely branched, flat mound of unique texture and pretty color contrast. Perfect as a focal point in a sunny border or rock garden. A great choice for small gardens too!

• Grows up to 3 ft. tall (90 cm) and 4 ft. wide (120 cm).
• Performs best in full sun in slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Tolerant of dry sites, air pollution, and salt. Some drought tolerance once established. Generally prefers cool climates and will struggle in hot and humid climate areas.
• Perfect as a specimen plant in the sunny border or in the rock garden.
• Watch for adelgids, aphids and conifer red spider mite. Easy to grow and easy to care for.
• No pruning required.
• Propagate by grafting or semi-hardwood cuttings.
