Description
Norway Spruce – Red Cone (Picea abies 'Acrocona') is a unique dwarf conifer that adds year-round character and charm to any landscape. This distinctive spruce features a slightly weeping, irregular form with bluish-green evergreen needles that emerge light green in spring. What truly sets it apart are its showy, upright purple cones, which appear in early spring and persist into summer, adding rich texture and color to the garden.
Growing slowly to about 15 feet tall and 6 feet wide, Red Cone Spruce is perfect for compact spaces or as an ornamental accent near entryways, patios, or walkways. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to a range of soils, as long as they’re well-draining. Hardy in zones 3 to 7 and tolerant of urban conditions, this resilient and elegant selection provides four-season interest and a natural, sculptural presence in any setting.
Each plant comes in a #6 (6 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
