A little green sprite, this prostrate(so far) plant has been growing about an inch and a half a year(3 cm). Note the wildly different colors in new push and hardened growth.

This plant is in at least part shade, closer to 'mostly shade'.

I think I actually remember seeing this little silver fir in your garden last week ,Will.I have some preference for this group of European firs and the graceful mutations it has
expressed.I wonder who named it 'Hana'?

'Hana' is one of the several witches' brooms of this species which were found in the Czech Republic.
It was named in 2001 by the Holata Nursery.
