Hortsmann Blue Atlas Cedar
Elevate your North Georgia landscape with the timeless elegance of the Hortsmann Blue Atlas Cedar, a standout semi-dwarf evergreen conifer prized for its striking silvery-blue foliage and compact architectural presence.This classic selection features dense clusters of short, stiff, icy silvery-blue to powder-blue needles that provide outstanding year-round color and texture. The brilliant blue foliage creates a stunning contrast against the rugged bark and irregular branching structure, delivering a dramatic and sophisticated display that anchors any Piedmont or North Georgia garden.A slow-growing, mounding-to-pyramidal evergreen tree, the Hortsmann Blue Atlas Cedar typically grows 8–12 feet tall and 5–8 feet wide at maturity (reaching about 8–10 ft. tall in 10 years), making it ideal for smaller foundation plantings, specimen trees, screening, accent plantings, or as a striking focal point in the North Georgia climate. It offers excellent heat and drought tolerance once established—key for our hot, humid summers—providing enduring structure and winter interest.
