About this plant

Perfect for small gardens, rockeries, or accent plantings, this dwarf arborvitae boasts dense, rich green foliage that retains its color through all seasons. Its compact, rounded form makes it an excellent choice for a formal look without the need for constant pruning. Adding structural interest to borders or containers, Hetz Midget is also a fantastic choice for creating low hedges or as a foundation planting where a tidy, neat appearance is desired. Its slow growth rate ensures it won't outgrow its space quickly. Remarkably cold-hardy and adaptable, this arborvitae brings enduring charm to nearly any landscape, providing a lush green accent that is both attractive and easy to care for.

Care & maintenance

Minimal care once established. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain a desired shape or remove any dead branches. Avoid heavy pruning. Fertilize in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer.
