Mugo Pine

About this plant

Pinus mugo 'Slowmound' is a gardener's favorite, celebrated for its naturally rounded, mounding habit and exceptionally dense, dark green needles. This dwarf conifer adds year-round vibrant color and a robust, textural element to borders, rock gardens, or as a striking specimen plant. Its slow growth rate ensures it remains a manageable size, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or container plantings. Enjoy the classic appeal of a pine without the overwhelming size. The 'Slowmound' Mugo Pine develops small, attractive cones that add further interest. Its tough, adaptable nature and low maintenance requirements make it a stellar choice for both seasoned gardeners and beginners alike.

Care & maintenance

Easily maintained, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its compact form. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring by candling (pinching back new growth). Fertilize in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer.
