Picea Bird's Nest Spruce, Picea abies 'Nidiformis', is the perfect name for this compact little evergreen that truly resembles a bird's nest! This cold weather species is excellent filler in garden beds and borders adding unique texture with its bottle-brush foliage. Add even more contrast by planting next to broad-leaved shrubs like Boxwoods or Barberry. Or, tuck Picea Bird's Nest Spruce here and there in your distant rock garden where it will withstand the elements and soften the landscape.
