You won’t be able to resist this evergreen eye candy, especially given this plant’s soft frond-like foliage that will remind you of a golden fern.

It’s a great plant for grouping together to form a beefy golden border planting or you can showcase its great form and color as a stand alone specimen. 

If you’re seeking an evergreen with real presence, look no further than this selection that has so much personality, it’s hard to ignore. This golden, upright, pyramidal large shrub to small tree sized plant is a vigorous grower sending out graceful horizontal branches of spreading, fan-like fronds. ‘Crippsii’s’ coloration will make you look twice with fan-like fine-textured sprays that are tipped with brilliant yellow, gradually becoming gold then bright chartreuse as you progress from outside to in on the plant. ‘Crippsii’ holds its color well in winter and thrives in sun or light shade, although full sun is best to maximize its outstanding yellow coloring.

A welcome addition to any small space garden, ‘Blue Feathers’ is a slow growing, compact, flattened globe shaped plant with an abundance of juvenile foliage giving it a feathery, fine textured look. This dense, yet frilly look is enhanced with outstanding blue foliage hues that really draw your attention, especially in full sun where this plant thrives.

Add a touch of textured beauty to your landscape with this tough yet soft looking and feeling evergreen that can be used as a spectacular specimen or grouped to form and even showier large hedge or barrier planting. Its foliage is actually small scales arranged in flattened, fan-like fronds that are soft to the touch. It’s bright yellow on the newer, outside foliage and green on the inner, older foliage giving an outstanding color contrast that you’ll find interesting year round. ‘Aurea’ is a tall, pyramidal grower but it’s not overly fast growing as it gradually adds to its height and width each year. Easy to grow and tolerant of all but the wettest soils, plant this selection in full to half day sun. While easy to trim, its natural, untrimmed form is beautiful on its own as long as you offer it the proper amount of landscape room.

Deep green-blue foliage and a stately, weeping form make this plant an ideal specimen in the landscape. Rapid growth and low maintenance make this adaptable Cary Award winner an increasingly popular selection.

A dense, strongly upright form along with long, deep green, soft shiny needles make this evergreen a landscape standout. Easy to grow. Perfect for narrow landscape spots. Makes a beautiful hedge when grouped on a partially shaded border.

This weeping form of Blue Atlas Cedar has striking blue foliage and a cascading, pendulous habit that becomes more spreading as it gets older. Because all of its branches are pendulous, the height this plant attains depends on how tall a leader is trained, meaning each plant is unique with no two growing the same way. The branches sweep, dip and cascade, eventually acting like a groundcover once the branches hit the ground, making for a superb landscape color and texture with whorled bunches of foliage covering the trailing branches. Plant Wheeping Atlas Cedar in a spot where it can spread and cascade to its heart’s desire and plant it in full sun for best results.

It’s singular, it’s colorful, it stately, and, above all, it’s memorable. Blue Atlas Cedar, as it matures, is one of those plants that thrills the horticulturalist as much as the rawest of home gardeners. Its shimmering, deep blue, whorled needles may have something to do with that as they cling tightly in round bunches along stiff, angularly upright branches. These branches form an open, somewhat stiff, wide pyramid of a tree that is formal, yet open looking and very striking. It’s a quick growing specimen that loves full sun, needs wind protection in the northern most reaches of its range, and a lot of room as it will become the plant that will define your landscape.
