- Golden, sun‑kissed needles on a dwarf deodar cedar that starts low and spreading, then matures to a graceful pyramid.
- Vivid year‑round color contrast—bright yellow new growth over blue‑green tones—ideal for statement accents.
- Flexible habit: use as a low, cascading groundcover or stake/train to develop an upright leader.
- Easy‑care and waterwise once established; great in full sun for best color and in a wide range of well‑drained soils.
Feelin’ Sunny® Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara ‘Monkinn’, PP23,886) lights up the landscape with brilliant golden foliage. It begins life as a low, spreading shrub, then can take on a taller, pyramidal form as it ages or when trained—making it equally at home spilling over boulders and walls, stabilizing banks, or shining as a glowing focal point in borders and large containers. Plant in full sun and well‑drained soil; after establishment, it needs only occasional deep watering while delivering four‑season color and texture with minimal maintenance.
Plant Description
Dwarf evergreen conifer selected for bright, golden‑yellow foliage and an initially low, spreading habit. With time—or with staking to encourage a leader—it transitions toward a tall, pyramidal silhouette typical of deodar cedars.
Foliage & Color
Fine, arching sprays of needles emerge sunny yellow and glow over cool blue‑green interiors, creating luminous contrast through all seasons. Best color develops in full sun.
Habit & Training
Naturally creeping and cascading when young; can be left to drape along slopes and over edges or staked early to form a compact, upright specimen or patio tree.
Sun Requirements
Full sun to partial sun; for the strongest golden tones, site in full sun with good air movement.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first seasons to establish; once established, water deeply only occasionally—avoid chronically wet conditions.
Soil Requirements
Adapts to a wide range of soils provided drainage is excellent. Avoid poorly drained or soggy sites; a spring feeding supports vigorous new growth.
Growth & Size
Quickly reaches about 12–15 ft. tall (if a leader forms) and ~8 ft. wide; remains lower and spreading where untrained. Height increases with age.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 7–9.
Special Features
Dramatic foliage color; easy care; waterwise once established; useful for erosion control on banks; generally tolerant of coastal exposure, urban conditions, and browsing by deer and rabbits.
Landscape Uses
Rock gardens and boulder groupings; cascading over retaining walls and raised planters; glowing focal point in mixed borders; large container specimen; low groundcover for banks and slopes; trained as a compact pyramid for entry accents.
Care Instructions
Plant at or slightly above grade in well‑drained soil. Mulch to moderate soil temperature, keeping mulch off the trunk. After establishment, irrigate only during extended dry periods. Minimal pruning—remove only damaged or wayward shoots; stake early if a vertical leader is desired.
