Gregoryana Parsonii Norway Spruce (Picea abies 'Gregoryana Parsonii')

Gregoryana Parsonii Norway Spruce (Picea abies 'Gregoryana Parsonii') is a compact, flat-topped dwarf conifer known for its slow growth, broad shape, and dense green foliage. With its low, spreading form and symmetrical silhouette, this selection adds refined structure and evergreen interest to rock gardens, troughs, and formal planting beds.

Distinctive Features

'Gregoryana Parsonii' forms a broad, rounded mound with a flattened top, giving it a unique, almost table-like profile. The short, rich green needles are tightly packed on horizontal branches, creating a dense and uniform texture. Its naturally tidy habit and small stature make it ideal for high-visibility garden spaces where precision and long-term structure are desired. It maintains its shape with little to no pruning, making it especially useful in small-scale or architectural designs.
