Abies lasiocarpa ‘Hurricane Blue’

Abies lasiocarpa 'Hurrican Blue' is a wintery-blue sub-alpine fir in a pyramidal form. Growth of the cultivar is slow and dense. It was previously thought that ‘Inga’ and ‘Hurricane Blue’ were the same cultivars.

The silvery, ice-blue needles and dense Christmas tree shape of this tree feels like a gust of winter wind even in the height of summer. Soft, curved needles belie its ice cold colors and offer an incredible accent piece for a white or moonlit garden.
