Why plant Weeping Blue Lebanon Cedar?
Weeping Blue Lebanon Cedar is for the landscape that wants a signature moment. The branches naturally cascade, creating movement and drama, while the needles hold a cool blue tone that looks clean against stone, brick, and deep green evergreens. What makes it especially special is that it’s not a “one-shape-fits-all” tree, it can be trained as it grows, allowing you to guide the form into an upright weeper, a sweeping arch, or a cascading mound depending on your vision.
It brings year-round structure, winter interest, and a sculptural look that doesn’t rely on flowers or seasonal color. This is evergreen artistry, and it only gets better with time.
How to use Weeping Blue Lebanon Cedar in the landscape?
Plant it where the branching can be appreciated from multiple angles, near a patio, at the end of a walkway, or as a focal point in a front-yard bed. It’s especially effective near stonework, boulders, and retaining walls, where the cascading habit can soften hard edges and create a layered, high-end look. If you want height, stake a leader when young and train it upward; if you prefer a mounding cascade, allow it to spill naturally. Keep nearby plantings simple and low so the form stays the main feature, and give it room to develop without crowding.
Frequently Asked Questions
This cedar does not produce showy blooms. Like many conifers, it has subtle pollen structures and may form cones as it matures, but it’s grown for evergreen color and its weeping form.
Yes. It can be trained while young by staking a leader to add height or guiding branches to create an arching or cascading form. The mature size and shape can vary depending on how it’s trained.
Prune selectively in late winter to remove dead or damaged growth and to guide shape if desired. Avoid heavy shearing, since the natural cascading branching is the main ornamental feature.
