Description:
Little Gem Norway Spruce is a compact, globe-shaped evergreen that adds year-round structure and texture to the landscape. Its dense, dark green needles form a tight, cushion-like mound, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or foundation plantings. Slow-growing and low-maintenance, it keeps its neat shape without the need for pruning. Its small size makes it especially useful in smaller spaces or as a contrasting element among larger plants.
Standout Feature:
Naturally compact, globe-shaped form that requires little to no pruning.
Interesting Fact:
Little Gem originated as a witch’s broom—a naturally occurring dwarf mutation—resulting in its dense growth and miniature size.
