Cedrus libani 'Glauca'
A striking architectural conifer with glaucous blue needles and strong year‑round presence
Cedrus libani ‘Glauca’ is a stunning blue‑needled form of the iconic Cedar of Lebanon, prized for its silvery‑blue foliage, graceful tiered branching, and majestic, long‑lived character. This exceptional conifer makes a powerful statement in any landscape, offering structure, colour, and evergreen interest throughout the year.
With its broad, spreading habit and slow to moderate growth, ‘Glauca’ is ideal as a specimen tree, where its distinctive blue tones and sculptural form can be fully appreciated. Over time, it develops the classic, wide‑crowned silhouette associated with Cedars of Lebanon, making it a superb choice for large gardens, estates, and feature planting.
