Description

The Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar is a living sculpture of breathtaking beauty. This extraordinary cultivar takes the iconic blue color of its parent and trains it into a cascading, waterfall-like form. Its long, pliable branches drape and tumble dramatically, and it is often staked to create unique, serpentine shapes. A slow-growing and highly artistic specimen, it serves as an unforgettable focal point in gardens where drama and elegance are desired.

A dramatic, weeping form of the Blue Atlas Cedar, with long, silvery-blue branches that cascade to the ground.
Often trained and staked when young to create unique, twisting, or mounding forms.
Grows slowly but can eventually become quite wide (15-25 ft).
Requires full sun for best color and form.
An unparalleled specimen or accent plant for adding year-round structural interest and color.
Perfect for Asian-inspired gardens, rockeries, or as a standalone living sculpture.

Faqs

Q: Do I need to stake it?
A: When young, it is typically staked to establish a central leader and create a specific height or shape before allowing it to weep. You can work with a nursery to select a pre-trained form (like an arched fountain or a serpentine shape) or train it yourself with guidance.

Q: How much space does it need laterally?
A: Its width is determined by how far you allow its weeping branches to spread. They can be pruned to control spread, or allowed to create a wide, mounding skirt. Plan for a diameter of at least 10-15 feet for a mature, natural form.
