Abies koreana Kohouts Icebreaker

A very slow-growing, dwarf Korean fir forming a dense, flattened bun. Short, strongly recurved needles display their silvery-white undersides, creating a striking silver-blue effect year-round. Best in sun or light shade and moist but well-drained, moderately fertile, acid-leaning soil. Fully hardy and excellent for rock gardens, troughs or containers; requires minimal pruning, just the removal of any wayward shoots.
