Slowmound Dwarf Mugo Pine

code: 5045

An outstanding TRUdwarf® selection. A consistent compact mound of dark green evergreen foliage. Is perfect for even the tightest of spaces.
In winter, this unique Iseli introduction shows off an exceptional seasonal characteristic. The cold weather brings a white resinous coating to each terminal bud, a trait that produces a dramatic effect. The bright white “eyes” look frosty against the plant’s dark green winter foliage. During the rest of the year, the reliably low, globe-shaped, TRUdwarf® plant requires little care and maintains its small stature without candle pruning. Highly desirable for rock garden, entry or border. Matures to 3 to 4-feet in 10 years.
Hardy to -40°F
Maximum Elevation: 8,500 Feet
