A slow growing, irregular upright form of Serbian spruce with both dark blue-green and green closely spaced needles. Silver undersides highlight this two-toned appearance. A choice selection for a focal point in the garden.

Texture, color and an irregular sculptural habit give this adaptable, slow-growing evergreen conifer unique character and make it an excellent focal point for the small garden. Individual shoots display either blue needles for a frosty look, or green needles for a softer look, both on the same plant. The interesting, rustic appearance will accent many garden styles.
