Buy Pixie Dust Dwarf Alberta Spruce online. Extremely dense, compact and slow growing, the miniature selection, Picea glauca 'Pixie Dust', resembles the original Dwarf Alberta Spruce in form, but offers a special feature. When the second flush of growth emerges in summer, the new tips are yellow, a surprising effect that contrasts dramatically with the deep green, mature foliage. Chosen by the American Conifer Society as 2006 Collector's Conifer of the Year, this adaptable cultivar produces a magical effect in trough, container or rock garden. Provide ample moisture and full sun for the best color on this sport of 'Pixie' that was discovered at Iseli Nursery.
