Arborvitae - Teddy
The Teddy Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy', is a tiny, globe-shaped evergreen with finely textured, almost feathery foliage. The blue-green needles take on a bronze tint in winter. It is a loveable, huggable dwarf globe with soft juvenile foliage. The foliage is so soft, it almost feels like fur! Gently shear for perfect spheres to look its best, or allow it to mature naturally into an oval shape. It requires full sun to partial shade, and it is best to follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. This arborvitae lends itself well as an easy care plant that can be used as an accent plant in borders, containers or rock gardens. It is also deer resistant. ... additional information
