Thuja occ. 'Little Gem'

This compact, dwarf evergreen shrub boasts a dense, rounded habit, making it a prime choice for small gardens, borders, or rockeries. Hardy in zones 3–7, it thrives in a range of climates, preferring full sun to partial shade with well-drained, moderately moist soil. Its rich, deep green foliage retains its color year-round with minimal seasonal change or fall color. The plant is deer-resistant, adding to its landscape appeal, and requires little maintenance. Growing to a mature height of approximately 12–18 inches with a similar spread, it maintains a tidy, spherical form ideal for formal landscapes or as an accent plant. Deer resistance and adaptability to soil types make it a low-maintenance favorite for various garden styles.
