Notes
'Golden Spreader' caucasian fir (Abies nordmanniana 'Golden Spreader') is a shrub for borders, containers, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows at a moderate rate into a dense evergreen mound that spreads wider than it is tall.
Pairs well with River birch, Lenten rose, and Sedge.
