Silver & White Conifers
Silver and white are unusual colors for conifers. These plants can range from a creamy-white color to a shimmering silver-blue.
"Silver" is a category we use for describing conifers with remarkably light-colored foliage, including everything from the silver undersides of the needles on Korean Firs (Abies koreana) to the silver-blue color of some Chamaecyparis or Colorado spruces (Picea pungens).
This color palette looks especially stunning when contrasted with a dark green or burgundy color! The shimmering color of these conifers also provides an excellent backdrop for brightly colored blossoms like tulips or peonies.
GOOD FOR SHADE
It is often tricky to grow conifers in the shade, as many of them only thrive in full sun. However, many of the silver-white conifers feel right at home in a shadier part of the garden since their light-colored growth can burn in direct sun.\
