Notes
'Silberperle' Korean fir (Abies koreana 'Silberperle') is a tree for borders, containers, and specimen planting. 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 not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows slowly and stays small, reaching 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. The evergreen needles keep their color all year.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Purple moor grass, and Wide Brim hosta.
