Landscape Application:

Sugar and Spice is a perfect shrub for smaller urban gardens where a full-sized Thuja would crowd everything else out. They look great singly as specimen plants or in groups as a hedge. Bulk up a windbreak or mixed shrub border, or create your own privacy planting that looks great on both sides of the fence line.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This easy-to-care-for evergreen prefers full to partial sun exposure in a well-drained soil site. Provide regular moisture throughout the first year in the ground but once established, they become drought resistant. Top-dress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the root zone but not piled up against the trunk. You won't need to prune it for it to keep its natural shape but light pruning can be performed to shape your shrub or remove winter dieback.
