Cedrus atlantica 'Blue Cascade

Common Name: Blue Cascade Atlas Cedar

A dramatic weeping evergreen conifer with cascading, steel-blue needles and a highly architectural habit. Unlike upright Atlas cedars, ‘Blue Cascade’ is typically trained or allowed to sprawl, forming a flowing, ground-hugging mound or a vertical accent when staked. The cool blue foliage provides year-round color and texture, making it a standout specimen in modern and naturalistic landscapes. Plant Characteristics Type: Evergreen conifer Form: Weeping, cascading; spreading unless trained Mature Width: 15–25 ft Mature Height: 8–15 ft (greater if staked and trained upward) Foliage Color: Steel blue to silvery blue Texture: Coarse, dramatic Growing Conditions USDA Hardiness Zones: 6a–9b Light: Full sun Soil: Average, well-drained soil; intolerant of wet sites Water: Moderate; drought tolerant once established Maintenance: Low; training optional depending on desired form Landscape Uses Specimen planting, slopes, rock gardens, retaining walls, large containers, and as a groundcover or trained accent. Excellent for adding strong winter interest and architectural form. Care Tips Stake and train a leader if vertical growth is desired Avoid heavy pruning; allow natural form to develop Protect from poorly drained soils, especially in winter
