Cedrus libani Pendula

Common Name: Weeping Cedar Of Lerbanon

A dramatic, weeping evergreen conifer with long, arching branches that cascade downward, creating a sculptural, flowing form. Foliage is dark green to blue-green, held in dense rosettes, providing bold year-round texture. ‘Pendula’ has no fixed shape and is often trained on a stake to establish height; untrained plants form a spreading, ground-hugging specimen. Plant Characteristics Type: Evergreen conifer Form: Weeping, cascading; trained or spreading Mature Width: 20–30 ft Mature Height: 10–20 ft (taller if trained) Foliage Color: Dark green to blue-green Texture: Coarse, architectural Growing Conditions USDA Hardiness Zones: 6a–9b Light: Full sun Soil: Average to well-drained soils; prefers neutral to slightly alkaline Water: Moderate; drought tolerant once established Maintenance: Low; training optional depending on desired form Landscape Uses Specimen plantings, slopes, rock gardens, retaining walls, estates, and focal points where a living sculpture is desired. Excellent for strong winter interest. Care Tips Stake and train a leader early if vertical growth is desired Avoid heavy pruning; allow natural cascade to define form Do not plant in wet or compacted soils
