Cedrus libani Blue Angel

Cedrus libani ‘Blue Angel’ is a stunning selection of Lebanon Cedar prized for its intense powder-blue needles and elegant, slightly weeping habit. This evergreen conifer develops a strong central leader with gracefully arching branches, creating a refined pyramidal form that softens as it matures. Its luminous blue foliage provides year-round color and makes it a standout specimen in the landscape.

‘Blue Angel’ has a moderate growth rate, typically 12–18 inches per year, and performs best in USDA Zones 6–9. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. Ideal for specimen plantings, large properties, and conifer collections, this distinctive cedar adds bold color, structure, and architectural beauty to both residential and commercial landscapes.
