Abies Concolor 'Violacea'

A striking evergreen conifer selected for its intense silvery-blue to steel-blue needles, which are longer and more vividly colored than the species. ‘Violacea’ forms a narrow to broad pyramidal tree with strong horizontal branching and excellent symmetry. The soft, flexible needles give the tree a refined texture while maintaining a bold color presence year-round.
