Lacy Aquamarine Foliage on a Slow-Growing DwarfAlmost unknown in this country, it is a European favorite. Why hasn't this splendid dwarf Thuja become the darling of American gardens?

Utterly distinctive yet very easy to grow, it combines elegance with ease of culture, a merit few other plants of this caliber can claim.The habit is dense and weeping, with long, very slender foliage carried on whip-like stems that arise in great numbers. The new spring foliage emerges bright green, contrasting brilliantly with the mature leaves of reddish-russet.

It is content in any well-drained soil, and in full sun or partial shade.

As it matures, it sets small cones that add tremendously to its ornamental appeal. A standout in the winter garden, it is beautiful in every season.
