My dh (and probably the neighbors) think I'm nuts, but I love this one (ok, it's not a shrub), Picea abies 'Acrocona' . The pic is from last year when it was planted. It had the most wonderful bright red cones right at the end of the branches earlier in the spring. this is what my landscaper brought me when I asked for Picea abies 'Little Gem', to which there is almost no similarity, but I think I may have gotten the better end of the deal.
