Notes
'Albyn Prostrata' Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris 'Albyn Prostrata') is a tree for specimen plantings, rock gardens, ground cover, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. This fragrant evergreen holds its needles through winter and attracts birds.
Pairs well with Gro-Low fragrant sumac, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Artist tulip, and Brown-eyed Susan.
