Evergreen Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae)
Color Name: Little Giant
Little Giant's foliage is rich, deep green and develops in flat, fan-shaped sprays of lacy needles. The foliage develops in all directions to maintain the overall round form.
The color remains a consistent dark green all year-long. No winter bronzing with this selection! You'll be surprised by the rugged nature of this cute, little plant. Little Giant takes the cold, grows in areas that get wet periodically, and even tolerates salt.
Growing Tips: Tolerates heat and drought once established. Keep watered after pruning to minimize browning; this is also an effective strategy to minimize winter damage to foliage in cold areas.
Soil: Adaptable in terms of pH; best growth is in moderately moist, cool, fertile soils.
Pruning: Does not strictly require pruning, though it does tolerate it well. Prune in spring before new growth begins.
Uses: Mixed borders; foundation plantings; rock gardens; specimen.
