Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Glauca’

Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Glauca’ (Blue Alaska Cedar) is a striking evergreen conifer known for its silvery-blue foliage and naturally pyramidal form. Its graceful, slightly weeping branches add texture and movement to the landscape, making it an excellent specimen tree or focal point in conifer gardens. The steel-blue color provides year-round interest and stands out beautifully against darker evergreens.

With a moderate growth rate of 12–18 inches per year, ‘Glauca’ thrives in USDA Zones 4–8. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, developing excellent drought tolerance once established. Ideal for specimen plantings, formal gardens, and mixed evergreen landscapes, this blue Alaska Cedar offers elegant structure, color, and lasting visual impact.
