Price range: $26.00 through $230.00
Valley Cushion Mugo Pine is a very compact, dense pine that stays low and flat, much wider than tall. Reddish, new buds complement the short, medium green needles, and plants grow very slowly, so they require little or no pruning. This cultivar is extremely hardy and an excellent choice for cold parts of the country. Perfect for use as a ground cover, in rock gardens, or as an accent plant in smaller landscapes. It is tolerant of various soil conditions and is drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance garden designs.
