Hillier's HB Dwarf Atlas Cedar, Bonsai Starter, Rock Garden Tree - Live Plant

A compact, sculptural cedar with blue-green needles and year-round structure. The Cedrus atlantica 'Hillier’s HB' is a refined, slow-growing cultivar of the Atlas Cedar, developed by the renowned Hillier Nurseries in the UK. Unlike its full-sized relatives, this selection grows in a compact, tidy mound—perfect for small landscapes, modern gardens, or conifer displays. Its striking blue-green needles maintain their color even in winter, adding contrast and structure to the garden when most plants are dormant. Over time, this cedar forms a low, irregular mound or flat-topped shrub, with subtle branching that offers elegant movement.

Key Features:

• Needles: Short blue-green needles characteristic of all Atlas Cedars
• Compact size: ideal for containers and rock gardens
