Slightly twisted, densely packed green needles on short branches makes this a "must have" mugo. This dense mound has golden tips in winter and white candles for a multi-toned effect.

One of the nicer dwarf mugos, evergreen conifer with short, stiff branches that are heavily clothed with slightly twisted needles. Discovered in the 1950's by plantsman Andy Sherwood, the compact, dense mound produces rich green foliage with golden tips in winter and white fascicles that give plants a radiant look.

One of the most coveted of all dwarf pines. This compact Mugo Pine is really amazing. Needles grow towards the buds and stay close to the stem. Very distinct. Ideal for bonsai work.
