From that point it pours down in curtains of stiff, steel blue needles. Landscape designers use it as a sculptural object rather than as a tree: draped over a retaining wall, trained along a pergola beam, or left to spill across gravel as a single dominant form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrained Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: The plant has no natural upright habit, so the height and shape are determined by staking and can be set to suit the site.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intense silver blue foliage that holds its colour year round, at its strongest in full sun.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow Development\u003c\/strong\u003e: It grows slowly enough that a considered form stays in proportion for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate Hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Once established it takes hard frost, dry summers and poor stony soil.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement Demands\u003c\/strong\u003e: It needs a horizontal run to fall across, so a wall top, an embankment or an open gravel bed is essential.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetaining Wall Cascade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted above a wall so the foliage falls down the face, which is its most effective use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry Sculpture\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single trained plant beside a front entry works as a permanent piece of garden art.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGravel Courtyard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spilling across crushed rock with boulders, it holds a Japanese influenced composition together.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrained Along a Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tied out along a pergola beam or fence rail, it forms a blue curtain over several years.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e Not a screening plant.
