Notes
'Slowmound' mugo pine (Pinus mugo 'Slowmound') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, foundation plantings, and winter interest. 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 grows slowly into a broad, evergreen mound that tolerates drought and salt. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Limeglow creeping juniper, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Ice Follies daffodil, and Berry Poppins winterberry.
