Cedrus libani 'Hedgehog' | Hedgehog Dwarf Lebanon Cedar

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Cedrus libani 'Hedgehog' features dense clusters of short, blue-green needles arranged along compact branches, creating a richly textured evergreen canopy that provides year-round interest. The stiff needles radiate outward in tufted rosettes, giving the plant a distinctive, layered appearance. Small upright female cones and inconspicuous yellow pollen cones develop in autumn. The persistent needles maintain their color through winter, providing texture and structure during the quiet months of the year.

Derived from the cedar forests of the eastern Mediterranean, this cultivar was selected for its unusual form and ornamental character. Its dense branching and evergreen presence lend themselves to conifer collections, rock gardens, and foundation plantings, where the intricate texture provides a sense of permanence and year-round appeal.
