Graceful and Compact Evergreen
No matter where it is planted, the Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar will add plenty of year-round visual interest! This semi-dwarf evergreen is popular for its distinct icy blue foliage, which grows in dense layers. The branches arrange themselves in an irregular, open pyramidal shape, creating a tall and slender form.
The Horstmann Blue Atlas strikes a remarkable presence in any setting. Plant this stunning cedar among leafy trees and shrubs for dramatic contrast in colors. Use it to provide texture in borders and mixed beds, or as a privacy screen.
With its small stature, the Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar tucks in perfectly wherever it is added. It will even do well when planted close to foundations, or anywhere else where space is limited.

Planting & Care
Planting: The Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar will tolerate any type of soil as long as it is well-draining. Be sure that the planting location receives full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sun each day.
Watering: Water your Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce the frequency.
Fertilizing: Feed with a general-purpose, well-balanced fertilizer in the spring.
Pruning: You can prune this tree during the summer for shape and size, but it is not necessary for the health of the tree.
