a compact, evergreen conifer, often called the "Golden Dwarf Arborvitae." It features dense, rounded growth and attractive, bright golden-yellow foliage that maintains its color year-round. Typically growing to about 1–1.5 meters (3–5 feet) tall and wide, it is slow-growing and ideal for borders, rock gardens, or as a low hedge. Thuja aurea nana is hardy, low-maintenance, and prefers full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil.
