Softer in color and in needle texture than dwarf Picea pungens cultivars, this compact, globose spruce traces its roots to a species native to the Rocky Mountains. Rarely seen in the trade, the muted, blue-green Picea engelmannii ‘Jasper’ thrives in cool, mountain conditions, so its subtle, rugged beauty makes a perfect addition to the alpine garden. ↑ 1 m (3’) ↔ 60 cm (2’) Zone 3 ☼
