Description / Thuja Whip It Good® Arborvitae
Thuja Whip It Good® Abrovitae is a refined and modern twist on the classic 'Whipcord' arborvitae. This improved selection stands out with thread-like foliage that's both longer and denser, giving the plant a fuller, more dynamic look in both containers and garden beds. The globe-shaped habit remains neat without pruning, and the plant grows faster than expected, making it an excellent choice for designers and gardeners alike.
Ideal as a boxwood alternative, this compact evergreen maintains its vibrant green color year-round and thrives in full sun to part shade. It reaches 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, forming a tidy sphere of fine texture that softens hardscapes and provides evergreen structure. Use it in borders, foundation plantings, or mass plantings for a dramatic yet low maintenance effect.
Thuja Whip It Good® comes from Proven Winners® Color Choice® Flowering Shrubs, developed by the University of Georgia. It performs well in clay, alkaline, or well drained soils and tolerates average to slightly dry moisture conditions. With strong cold hardiness and attractive winter presence, it delivers visual interest through every season. Whether you need a compact focal point or an evergreen backdrop, this selection brings structure, softness, and versatility to the landscape.
