Winter coat? Common name dwarf American arborvitae Family cupressaceae Life cycle evergreen shrub Size 2' Light sun-part shade Soft blue-green needles on a dwarf, globe-shaped evergreen tree. I planted this in our rock garden, but will have to watch it carefully, because it does not like to get too dry. Through the winter, it turned distinctly brown, but its leaves still have a soft texture - so I hope this is just its winter coat, not a sign of impending demise.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: rock garden
