Notes
'Tiny Tim' American arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Tiny Tim') is a shrub for borders, containers, rock gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. This slow grower forms a dense, fragrant evergreen mound that stays 6 to 12 inches tall. Deer tend to pass it by. It also attracts birds.
Pairs well with Red fescue, Pearly everlasting, and Globe amaranth.
