Description
Arborvitae Sting® is a unique evergreen shrub with an ultra-slim, upright shape that stands out in any landscape. Its rich green foliage stays vibrant all year, adding color through every season. The narrow, sword-like form makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces where a bold vertical accent is needed. Plant it along foundations, in mixed borders, or as a striking focal point.
With a mature width of only 18 inches, Arborvitae Sting® fits where larger evergreens cannot. It also works well as a narrow hedge or privacy screen without taking up much space. This slow-growing shrub is easy to maintain and only needs light pruning when necessary. Grow it in full sun to part sun with moist, well-drained soil, and protect it from drying winter winds for the best performance.
