Picea omorika Aurea

Picea omorika ‘Aurea’ is a striking golden selection of Serbian Spruce prized for its bright yellow new growth that matures to soft green, creating a beautiful two-toned effect throughout the growing season. This elegant evergreen develops the classic narrow, pyramidal form of Serbian Spruce, with gracefully layered branches and distinctive needles that show dark green tops and silvery undersides.

Well suited for specimen planting, privacy screens, or vertical accents in the landscape, Picea omorika ‘Aurea’ is valued for its year-round structure, unique coloration, and strong adaptability. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, and is known for tolerating a range of conditions better than many other spruces. As it matures, it becomes a refined and eye-catching focal point in both residential landscapes and conifer collections.
