Notes
'Misty' mugo pine (Pinus mugo 'Misty') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, containers, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a broad, evergreen mound, so it stays tidy for years. It tolerates drought and salt, and birds visit it. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Emerald Pink moss phlox, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
