PICEA ABIES 'MALENA'

My oldest stock plants of this cultivar are about 20 years old. They are dense little cushions, which are so tight it is extremely difficult to push a finger through the branches to the inside of the plant. It is a dark green selection that has never burned in the hot summer sun and has performed admirably. Anyone who wants a tight green cushion for the rock garden definitely needs to have one of these. It was found in mid 1980's in Switzerland.
