| Picea omorika 'Bruns' |
The strongly upright branches of this spire-like spruce reveal bright white stomata on the undersides of the needles, which gives the tree a shimmering silver cast. Its pyramidal form and dense, graceful branches create a striking silver-blue structure, wider at the bottom, sweeping up into a spire. Uncommon in the trade—don’t confuse it with ‘Pendula Bruns’—this large, handsome cultivar commands attention. Plant it in deep, rich, well-drained soil in full sun. |

| Picea omorika 'Gnom' |
Green above and white below, the two-tone needles are typical of the species, but this plant is unique with its gnome-like stature. From a wide, rounded base, layers of dense branches slowly taper to a point at the top. Texture, color and form work together to give 'Gnom' a pleasing appearance that deserves use as a focal point. |

| Picea omorika 'Pimoko' |
Color and texture set 'Pimoko' apart from other dwarf Serbian Spruce selections. The showy, dark green needles, accented with a bluish cast and silvery undersides, seem to sparkle. Reddish brown buds add to the effect too. Globe-shaped when young, this superb rock garden plant develops multiple leaders and an upright, broad shape with maturity. |
