Description When a low growing weeping Deodar Cedar is required for a rock garden, look for the cultivar Feelin’ Blue to add interest with its bluish-green needle growth.

  Morphology:
This is a dwarf conifer that grows to 3’ in height and up to 6’ in width. This variant clearly has a prostate habit that seems to point out its soft needles and weeping form.

  Morphology:
This drought tolerant cultivar likes acidic soils which are well drained. For best results find a site with full sun. It's a natural for rock gardens nestled into landscape boulders.

  Pests:
None reported.
