Deodar Cedar

About this plant

Cedrus Deodara 'Prostrate Beauty' offers an exquisite, architectural element to your garden design. Its striking blue-green needles are held on branches that artfully drape and spread, creating a living sculpture that evolves with age. This selection is particularly prized for its prostrate habit, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, cascading over walls, or as an elegant groundcover where space allows its natural spread. Unlike its towering relatives, 'Prostrate Beauty' remains more compact, developing a wide but relatively low profile. It's a fantastic evergreen for year-round interest, providing rich color and a captivating form that stands out in all seasons. Its unique character makes it a superb focal point or an intriguing accent in mixed borders and foundation plantings. Easy to care for once established, this Deodar Cedar brings a touch of sophisticated beauty without demanding constant attention. Its distinctive shape eliminates the need for extensive pruning, allowing its natural elegance to shine.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning, primarily to remove any dead or damaged branches. Protect from strong winter winds in exposed locations, especially when young. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage.
