Zone: 3PANCAKE™ AMERICAN ARBORVITAE
Pancake™ American Arborvitae is a charming, ultra-dwarf cultivar of the American Arborvitae that lives up to its name with a distinctively flat, spreading habit. It grows in low, dense mounds of scale-like foliage that creates a soft, mossy texture in the garden. While it remains a crisp, bluish-green throughout the spring and summer, the foliage undergoes a dramatic seasonal shift in the winter, taking on attractive bronze or smoky-purple hues. Because it typically only reaches a height of 24-30 inches with a spread of about 24-30 inches, it is an exceptional choice for rock gardens, low borders, or as a structural groundcover that requires virtually no pruning to maintain its shape.
Pancake™ Arborvitae thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-draining, moist soil. While it is adaptable to various soil types, it performs best in neutral to slightly alkaline conditions, and like most Thujas, it does not tolerate extreme drought well. The best location is one with consistent moisture and good air circulation.
