Dwarf Serbian Spruce 'Karel'

Picea omorika 'Karel' is a delightful dwarf conifer, forming a dense, flattened globe or cushion of short, dark green needles with silvery undersides. This slow-growing cultivar is ideal for rockeries, alpine gardens, or containers, typically reaching just 30-50 cm in height and spread. It is exceptionally hardy (H7) and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Its compact form and attractive two-tone needles provide year-round interest and a refined texture to small spaces. A low-maintenance plant, 'Karel' is a reliable choice for adding evergreen structure and quiet charm.
