Notes
Midtii bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii 'Šmidtii') is a shrub for borders, containers, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It grows slowly and stays small, so it fits tight spaces. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Bees and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Standing Ovation little bluestem, Common snowberry, and Blue Diamond tulip.
