About Cedrus Libani Glauca 20 Litre Pot 175/200cm

Cedrus libani 'Glauca'

Blue Cedar of Lebanon — Majestic Evergreen with Striking Silver-Blue Foliage

Cedrus libani 'Glauca' is a truly iconic evergreen conifer, combining the legendary grandeur of the Cedar of Lebanon with a captivating silver-blue needle colour that sets it apart from the classic green species. Developing a broad, layered, architectural canopy over time, this long-lived tree commands attention as a magnificent specimen in larger gardens, parks, and estate landscapes. Its distinctive horizontal branching structure and vivid blue-grey foliage deliver year-round drama and timeless elegance.

Key Features

  • Mature Height & Spread: 15–25m height; wide, spreading canopy (slow-growing)

  • Foliage: Short, silver-blue to blue-grey evergreen needles borne in dense clusters

  • Form: Broad, tiered, flat-topped habit with strongly horizontal branching

  • Growth Rate: Slow to moderate

  • Hardiness: Fully hardy throughout the UK

Perfect For

  • Landmark specimen trees in large gardens, parks, and open spaces

  • Formal and classic landscape designs requiring architectural structure

  • Long-term planting schemes where a legacy tree is desired

  • Wildlife-friendly gardens offering shelter, habitat, and year-round cover

Growing & Care

  • Position: Full sun is essential for the best silver-blue needle colour and a strong, balanced form

  • Soil: Thrives in deep, well-drained soil; tolerates chalk, loam, and sandy soils — avoid waterlogged or compacted ground

  • Watering: Water regularly during the establishment period; once settled, Cedrus libani 'Glauca' is notably drought-tolerant

  • Maintenance: Very low — this cedar naturally develops its characteristic layered silhouette without intervention

  • Pruning: Pruning is rarely necessary and generally best avoided; remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late summer only if required

  • Hardiness: Fully hardy and wind-tolerant once established; young plants may benefit from shelter in the first season

Tip: Mulch generously around the base at planting time to retain moisture and protect the root system while the tree establishes — avoid mulch touching the trunk directly.
