For a steel blue cedar consider a Cedrus deodara 'Eisregen'. While too large for AnnieBBB's corner it has withstood 4 zone 5 winters here with no dieback or even windburn. It's gorgeous and amazing. Umm, about a weeping hemlock for that site - here's a shot of a Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula' planted in the early 80's taken last winter in my back yard. For reference, the granite pagoda is 8'. It has obviously found the acid sandy soil to its liking as well as initially being sited in full sun. A pair of Red Oaks ( not shown) have since grown to shade the north side, but the south side gets the blistering sun all day.
