Thuja Occidentalis ‘Teddy’ – Dwarf Slow Growing Conifer

Thuja occidentalis ‘Teddy’ is a charming, dwarf conifer that naturally forms a neat, rounded mound, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, rockeries, or containers. Its soft, fine-textured juvenile foliage is a fresh, gentle green through the growing season, giving the plant a plush, almost velvety appearance. As temperatures drop, this foliage takes on attractive purple-bronze tones in winter, adding subtle seasonal colour and interest when many plants are at their quietest. Slow-growing and well-behaved, it reaches around 50 cm in height and width after 10 years, maintaining its tidy shape with little intervention.
Exceptionally easy to care for, Thuja ‘Teddy’ thrives in full sun to partial shade in any well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional watering during dry spells. It pairs beautifully with other compact evergreens, dwarf grasses, or low-growing perennials such as Heuchera or Sedum, where its rounded form provides structure and contrast. Hardy, versatile, and naturally compact, this is an ideal conifer for gardeners seeking year-round form, gentle colour shifts, and reliable performance in a wide range of settings.
Supplied in approx. 2 litre containers.
