Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy'
Thuja occidentalis ‘Teddy’, commonly known as ‘Teddy’ western arborvitae, is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a compact, globular habit, highly prized for its soft texture and naturally rounded silhouette. Its fine, medium-to-dark green foliage forms a dense, slightly feathery mass that retains its beautiful coloration throughout the season, sometimes taking on a slight bronze hue in winter. Slow-growing, it requires virtually no pruning to maintain its regular shape. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, structured beds, or pots, Thuja occidentalis ‘Teddy’ fits perfectly into small gardens and contemporary landscapes. It prefers cool, well-drained soil and tolerates full sun to partial shade, while offering excellent hardiness in cold climates.
