Whip It Good, Thuja occidentalis is a shrub chosen for its texture and personality.
 
This arborvitae stands apart with long, thread-like foliage that moves and drapes rather than standing stiffly upright. Its foliage is long, dense, and full, creating an appealing presence in the landscape.
 
With a rounded, well-behaved habit, Whip It Good grows into a shrub with a nice restrained size, bringing softness and motion to borders, foundations, and informal hedges. Its evergreen form keeps the garden visually interesting year-round, even when flowers have faded and perennials are resting.
 
Low maintenance and naturally expressive, it requires little pruning to look good. It is a rare combination of quirky and reliable.
 
If you’re drawn to evergreens with character instead of conformity, this one earns a closer look.
