Picea abies 'Reflexa'

A handsome and unusual, slow growing evergreen conifer with short, dark green needles which develops cascading, pendulous branches.

For height, train the leading shoot vertically up a cane or similar until it reaches the required height before allowing it to weep towards the ground. Without support this gradually develops into a large spreading, groundcover shrub.

Most suited to a position in sun or dappled shade and well drained soil. Can be grown in a large container.

• Position: Full sun or light, dappled shade.
• Soil: Any well drained soil
• Hardiness: Hardy.
• Rate of Growth: Slow.
• Habit: A weeping shrub or eventually very small tree with training.
  • Height: up to 2 - 3 m (6 - 10 ft) or ground cover and low without support.
  • Spread: 2 - 3 m (6 - 10 ft)
