Thuja ‘Teddy’ (2L)

Thuja ‘Teddy’ is a charming dwarf evergreen conifer that adds a delightful touch to any garden. With its dense, rounded, and soft-textured foliage, ‘Teddy’ boasts vibrant green needles that turn a subtle bronze hue in winter. This compact variety is perfect for small gardens, rockeries, or as an attractive container plant. It reaches a height and spread of around 30-50cm over 10 years, making it ideal for adding structure and year-round interest to smaller spaces.

Best Position: Plant Thuja ‘Teddy’ in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained, fertile soil. It thrives in both sheltered and exposed locations, providing flexibility in your garden design. Avoid waterlogged areas, as this plant prefers consistent but not excessive moisture.

Flowering Time: Thuja ‘Teddy’ does not produce showy flowers, but its dense, evergreen foliage offers year-round color and texture.

Care Tips: Feed once a year in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Pruning is rarely necessary due to its naturally compact shape, but if desired, lightly trim in late spring or early summer to maintain its form. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in its early years.

Thuja ‘Teddy’ is the perfect choice for those looking to add a low-maintenance, yet visually appealing feature to their garden.
