    Of dense bushy habit, this more compact, dwarf form of the Mugo Pine has densely packed, deep-green, 1-3", curved needles; great for bonsai or container or landscape. S/M-D

    By: Forestfarm

    Geographical variant that usually produces smaller more compact plants. 3'x3' in ten years.

    By: Fantastic Plants

    A form which is widely distributed in the mountains of central Europe. A superb variety for the landscape, it is often used as a ground cover. Can be pruned to keep it very low, as it grows only 1-3" a year. Very adaptable and excellent to use in mass planting or as a single plant in the garden.

    Rounded globe shape, better with pruning. Good in containers or rock garden. USDA zones 2-9.
