ABIES BALSAMEA NANA / DWARF BALSAM FIR
Compact, Fragrant, and Cold-Hardy Evergreen
Abies balsamea ‘Nana’ is a dwarf selection of the balsam fir, prized for its dense, rounded growth habit and deep green, aromatic needles. This slow-growing, low-maintenance conifer is ideal for rock gardens, borders, foundation plantings, and container gardening.
Why Choose Dwarf Balsam Fir?
- Comparison: More compact than standard balsam firs, making it perfect for small spaces.
- Companions: Pairs well with dwarf spruces, heathers, and creeping junipers for a layered garden design.
Key Features:
- Naturally Compact Growth: Forms a rounded, cushion-like shape with minimal pruning.
- Fragrant Foliage: Soft needles emit a pleasant balsam scent.
- Slow-Growing & Low Maintenance: Requires little care while maintaining its tidy form.
- Cold Hardy: Thrives in colder regions and withstands harsh winters.
- Deer Resistant: Less appealing to browsing wildlife.
Specifications:
- Plant Size: 60–90 cm tall, 90–120 cm spread.
- Hardiness: Zone 3–6.
- Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade.
- Soil Requirements: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
The ‘Nana’ Dwarf Balsam Fir is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add year-round greenery in a small, easy-to-maintain package.
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
