Thuja orientalis Minima Glauca

Common Name: Minima Glauca Oriental Thuja

Description:
Thuja orientalis 'Minima Glauca' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, rounded habit and soft, bluish-green foliage. This dwarf variety maintains its vibrant colour year-round, sometimes developing a subtle bronze tint in winter. Its naturally neat shape makes it an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, container plantings, and small hedges. Thriving in well-drained soils, ‘Minima Glauca’ prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. With minimal maintenance required, it is a fantastic addition to formal landscapes and structured gardens.
