Description
Nest Spruce is a stunning compact evergreen with a unique, low-growing, mounded form that creates a satisfying, tidy presence in the landscape. Its rich, deep green needles provide a fresh, textural contrast to other plants, maintaining interest year-round. As new growth emerges in spring, a splash of lighter green tips adds a refreshing touch of brightness. This refined, dwarf spruce is perfect for foundation plantings, rock landscapes, and mixed borders, offering a polished look with minimal maintenance. Its natural, nest-like shape makes it one of the finest choices for adding structure and elegance to small spaces.

General Care

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun
• Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
• Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
• Pruning: Rarely needed; prune lightly in late winter if shaping is desired

With its dense, compact habit, year-round color, and satisfying form, Nest Spruce is a refreshing and elegant choice for adding texture and structure to the landscape.
