Pinus mugo ‘Pumilio’ (Dwarf Mountain Pine) is a compact, slow-growing conifer that forms a dense, spreading mound of dark green needles, offering year-round structure and texture. Perfect for rock gardens, low-maintenance borders or container planting, this hardy alpine native thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Its rugged character and resistance to wind, cold and poor soils make it ideal for exposed or difficult sites. Low-growing and easy to care for, it’s a reliable, evergreen choice for smaller spaces or layered planting schemes.
