1 Live Plant Sunkist Arborvitae Thuja occidentalis Evergreen Shrub

Sunkist Arborvitae is a compact evergreen shrub known for its bright golden-yellow foliage that holds color well through the growing season and stands out nicely against darker green plantings. This Thuja occidentalis selection grows in a dense, upright, slightly conical habit, making it a useful choice for borders, low hedges, foundation plantings, and mixed landscape beds.
Its glowing yellow-toned foliage adds warm color and year-round structure and pairs well with green evergreens, ornamental grasses, and flowering perennials. It can be grown as a specimen shrub, kept in containers on a patio, or planted in a row for a low-maintenance hedge.
