Dwarf Mountain Pine – Pinus mugo ‘Mughus’
Main interest
The Dwarf Mountain Pine ‘Mughus’ is a compact conifer with a rounded, cushion-like habit. Unlike taller pines, it spreads low and wide, making it perfect for rock gardens, slopes, gravel beds and alpine-style plantings. Its deep green, evergreen needles keep their colour year-round. Extremely hardy (down to –35 °C), it thrives in poor, stony or calcareous soils, provided they are well-drained. With its slow growth, it requires little to no pruning. Also suitable for containers and bonsai.
