Superior seasonal color makes Picea glauca ‘Rainbow’s End’® a brilliant addition to the summer garden. A second flush of growth transforms the light green, conical tree in mid-summer into a beacon of bright lemon yellow. Although similar in size and shape to ‘Conica,’ the extraordinary color of this tree offers a dramatic summer surprise. Found as a mutation at Iseli Nursery in 1978, it appreciates consistent moisture, good nutrition and an occasional blast from the garden hose during summer to increase pest resistance. Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Grows 3-6 inches a year. Drought tolerant and deer resistant.
