Thuja occidentalis Danica
Danica Arborvitae
Danica Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Danica’) grows into a dwarf, low-rounded cushion of evergreen foliage. Dense sprays of emerald green give it a soft, layered surface and retain their green color through winter.
Its restrained proportions suit the front of a planting or a small group of conifers. The low form can provide a steady green anchor beside plants whose foliage changes more dramatically with the seasons.
Grow in full sun. Choose soil that drains freely and water during establishment.
