Arborvitae Lime Delight

Arborvitae Lime Delight

Arborvitae ‘Lime Delight’ is a compact, globe-shaped evergreen prized for its vibrant lime-green foliage that brightens the landscape throughout the year. Its soft, feathery texture and naturally rounded form make it an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, and decorative containers. Unlike larger arborvitae varieties, Lime Delight remains neatly sized, making it perfect for smaller gardens and structured landscape designs.

Typically reaching 3–5 feet tall and wide, Arborvitae Lime Delight thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its foliage maintains its vivid color through the seasons, adding contrast against darker evergreens and flowering shrubs. This variety is low maintenance and cold hardy, making it a dependable option for long-term landscape use. Whether used as a single accent or planted in groups for visual interest, Lime Delight provides cheerful color and year-round structure.
