Cedrus deodara Feelin’ Blue (Deodar Cedar)
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.
