A Cosmic Bluebell with a Dramatic Semi Cascade
LOCAL PICKUP ONLY at our Massachusetts retail store. It is currently too cold to ship this tropical tree.
You will receive the exact tree and pot shown in the photographs.
This one has a very different feel from the upright Bluebells. The heavy trunk arches out over the side of the pot, with curling branches falling beneath it in a broad semi cascade. Exposed roots grip the mossy surface below. It’s only 10 inches tall, but the 14-inch spread gives Laurent’s branch work plenty of room to show.
Cosmic styling works incredibly well on these trees. We let the branches grow wild until there’s enough length for Laurent Darrieux, the creator of Cosmic bonsai, to create those exaggerated curves and twists. Here, the movement continues from the thick trunk into the fine, trailing branches. It’s a wonderful example of how expressive a small tree can be.
Bluebells also have something a photograph can’t show: small purple flowers with a strong, sweet grape fragrance when they bloom. Laurent intentionally defoliated this tree for styling. It’s currently wired and isn’t being offered in flower; new foliage and flowering will depend on its continued growth and care.
The square turquoise ceramic pot gives the sweeping tree a solid base, with fresh moss around the roots. The pot’s maker is unconfirmed. A distinctive piece of Laurent’s work for someone who enjoys a less conventional bonsai.

Care and Continued Refinement
Keep this tropical tree warm, with bright light and protection from frost and cold drafts. Check the soil beneath the moss before watering; the moss alone does not tell you how wet the root ball is. Water thoroughly when needed and let excess water drain. Monitor the existing wire as new growth develops.

Photography Note
Photographed November 12, 2026. Color and appearance may vary slightly with lighting, seasonal growth and normal changes in a living tree. The photos show the tree intentionally defoliated for styling; foliage will change as new growth develops.
Please Note
This is a living tree and will continue to change throughout the seasons. All trees are sold as-is. All sales are final. No refunds, returns or exchanges. Once the tree leaves our nursery, its care is your responsibility. Have questions? Just reach out. We’re happy to help.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
