Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca'
A tall, slender form with dense, vertical branching that creates a column-like silhouette. Its striking, silvery-blue foliage adds a soft, cool-toned contrast. This classic Mediterranean variety does not form many seed pods.
Cultural
Thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soils and prefers a sunny position with good airflow. It is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during dry spells to maintain its health. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, it performs best in slightly alkaline conditions and should be pruned sparingly to maintain its upright, columnar shape.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for creating dramatic vertical accents, often used to line pathways, driveways, or frame entrances with its elegant, columnar shape. Its refined structure also makes it perfect as a focal point in formal gardens or as a privacy screen, adding both architectural interest and a striking contrast to other plantings.
