Dwarf Serbian Spruce 3 - Year Graft

Picea omorika ‘Nana’ Standard (Dwarf Serbian Spruce) * Full Sun - Part shade * Zones 4-7 * 6' tall * 5' wide Picea omorika ‘Nana’ Standard is the Dwarf Serbian Spruce that has those soft green needles on the top-side and the bottom side and retains that bluish color. The rounded form is very easy to maintain, a spread of 5.0′-6.0′, and around 5.0′ for the height. There are now a lot of these type of evergreen standards out there to use but this one has a 2 tone color effect. There is a nice subtle change from green to blue in the needles. Evergreens on standards like this make an incredibly strong statement in the immediate area they are placed. Becoming a focal point, or at least an exclamation point, needing a supporting cast to show off this plants interesting characteristics. A mass of low perennials, or ground cover is a safe bet, not a group of 4 or 5 deciduous shrubs with the same rounded shape competing for your attention. The other way to use these dwarf globes is as a pair, flanking a sidewalk or guarding the ends of a bed. I guess you would say this is the standard, typical, ho-hum way to be placed in the landscape. it’s true, but it works. Remember this design tip with these types of shrubs . . . think focal point, then place this type of evergreen where you want someone to look, a place of interest, and appreciate what’s happening in that space. Then surround these focals with subordinates to support the uniqueness of the evergreen on a standard.
