Cedrus deodara ‘Feelin’ Blue’ (Deodar Cedar) is a dwarf evergreen conifer of spreading habit adorned with arching branches covered with long, thick, bright blue-green needles. One of the lowest of the dwarf Cedars, it rarely develops a leader. A moderate grower, 6-8 in. per year (15-20 cm), this Deodar Cedar can be staked to form a small tree with gracefully arching branches or can be left to grow as a groundcover on banks and slopes or cascading off containers and retaining walls. A magnificent specimen for smaller spaces, and rock gardens.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Grows up to 1-3 ft. tall (30-90 cm) and 6-10 ft. wide (180-300 cm).
  • Performs best in full sun in medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerant of hot and humid summers. Drought tolerant once established.
  • Easy to grow, easy to care for.
  • No pruning required.
  • Native to the Himalayas.
