Pinus Mugo var. Pumilio Mountain Pine

Pinus mugo var. Pumilio, commonly known as the Mountain Pine, is a charming and compact evergreen shrub appreciated for its hardiness and versatility. This cultivar typically forms a low, spreading mound of dark green needles, creating a dense and bushy appearance in the landscape. Pumilio is well-suited for rock gardens, slopes, or as a ground cover, adding texture and structure to various garden settings. Its slow growth rate and tolerance to harsh conditions, including poor soil and drought, make it an ideal choice for challenging environments. In spring, it produces small, brown cones that add visual interest to the shrub.
