Cedrus libani Glauca Pendula
Common Name: Weeping Blue Cedar Of Lerbanon
A dramatic, highly architectural weeping evergreen conifer featuring silvery blue to blue-green needles and long, cascading branches. ‘Glauca Pendula’ has no fixed form on its own and is typically trained on a stake to create height, with branches flowing downward in curtains. Left untrained, it can sprawl as a ground-hugging specimen. Provides exceptional year-round interest and sculptural presence.

Excellent for creating living sculpture and winter interest. Care Tips Stake and train a leader early if vertical form is desired Avoid heavy pruning; let the natural cascade define the plant Do not plant in wet or compacted soils
