Pinus mugo 'Slow Mound' - For the mugo you always hoped for, try 'Slowmound.' This Iseli introduction has so many superior traits that it is designated a Jean Iseli Signature plant, a distinction reserved for plants that exhibit "marked improvement" over others on the market. The dense, dark green mound is one of the best, with highly reliable color, texture, growth rate and habit. Beautiful year-round, it produces many showy buds and matures to a wide, even shape that is naturally compact. At only 1-2' in 10 years, it works well in even the most confined areas.
Slow indeed young plants form a flat carpet of upward facing shoots, this can apparently be rooted quite successfully from cuttings however our plants are grafts. It is a plant with great landscape potential as an edger.
