Notes
'Blauer Eskimo' Korean fir (Abies koreana 'Blauer Eskimo') is a shrub for borders, containers, specimen planting, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is an evergreen with an erect habit that grows slowly to 12 to 24 inches tall. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It stays about 12 inches wide, so it fits small spaces.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Japanese forest grass, Queen of Night tulip, and Jackmanii clematis.
