Notes
'Humpy' mugo pine (Pinus mugo 'Humpy') is a shrub for rock gardens, containers, borders, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer. It grows slowly into a broad, low mound that stays evergreen through winter. Birds visit it, and it handles drought and salt.
Pairs well with Limeglow creeping juniper, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Mount Hood daffodil.
