Picea glauca 'Jean's Dilly'®

Jean’s Dilly® Alberta Spruce
Picea glauca 'Jean's Dilly'

Let's get festive! These mini-conifers are perfect for containers and small spaces. Use them as tiny living Christmas trees during winter, and as evergreen accents year round.

These rare evergreen gems have all the low-maintenance of an Alberta Spruce, but with an extraordinarily slow growing rate - at only 2-4" per year! Jean's Dilly has short fine needles, with very dense growth.

Amazing accent plants for small to moderate-sized landscapes. They are also fantastic in rock gardens, container gardens, fairy gardens, and perennial borders. Pair them with pansies for an easy but colorful winter display - or let your imagination run wild! They are very versatile.

Perfect shape, slow growth, lovely texture and color, combine to create remarkable little plants that will never outgrow their places in your garden. In the wild, Picea glauca have been found living up to 300 years old! Native to the USA and Canada.
