Notes
'Silver Show' Korean fir (Abies koreana 'Silver Show') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, accents, and privacy screens. 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 grows slowly in an erect form and keeps its evergreen needles all year. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It also tolerates drought once settled in, so it needs little care.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Purple moor grass, and Bloodgood Japanese maple.
