Notes
'Glauca Nana' Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris 'Glauca Nana') is a shrub for specimen planting, accent, rock gardens, 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. It grows in a columnar shape and stays evergreen all year, and birds visit it. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The plant is fragrant and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Limeglow creeping juniper, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Ice Follies daffodil.
