Abies amabilis ‘Spreading Star’
A rare and irresistibly elegant selection of the Pacific Silver Fir, ‘Spreading Star’ grows low and wide, forming a graceful, layered silhouette that looks hand-sculpted by nature. Soft, deep green needles with silvery undersides give the plant a luminous, two-tone shimmer—especially striking in winter light.
Compact and slow-growing, this beauty brings year-round structure and calm to the garden without overwhelming its space. It’s a perfect choice for collectors, conifer gardens, or anyone looking to add a touch of quiet sophistication to the landscape.
