Pinus Mugo Slowmound Dwarf Mountain Pine

Pinus mugo 'Slowmound', known as the Dwarf Mountain Pine, is a compact and resilient evergreen shrub prized for its tidy form and hardiness. This cultivar typically forms a dense, rounded mound of dark green needles, creating a neat and uniform appearance in the landscape. Its slow growth rate and dwarf habit make it an excellent choice for small gardens, rockeries, or container plantings. 'Slowmound' is exceptionally tolerant of harsh conditions, including poor soil, drought, and urban pollution, making it well-suited for challenging environments. In spring, it produces small, brown cones that add seasonal interest to the shrub.
