Cedars are beautiful, architectural trees that attract us with their irregular, monumental crowns, mainly in southern Europe under the Alps. There are 4 species in this genus among which the hardiest are Atlas cedar (blue-green), cedar of Lebanon (green), and some varieties of Himalayan cedar.Description of the plant:
Feelin‘ Blue is a striking Dutch introduction of Himalayan cedar, which in fact turned out to be one of the most reliable cedars we ever had. Formerly a ground-covering plant is often staked up to a bamboo stick in order to form an appearance of a classic but much smaller cedar tree with picturesque arching branches. With their long, evergreen needles they look like a silvery blue waterfall.It grows moderately about 30-40 cm per year. It natural height without staking is not much taller than 20 cm and spread could be indefinite. It grows best in full sun and almost any reasonably permeable soil. Lime tolerant. Pruning is possible in early spring. It is very hardy down to USDA zone 5b i.e. -27°C.
