Pinus Mugo Pumilio is an endemic conifer native to the mountains of southern Europe, which grows spontaneously in the Pyrenees and the Alps. Its adaptability is remarkable since it tolerates drought and resists cold (down to - 35 ° C).
Entirely covered with fine dark green needles of 4 cm grouped in brushes, Pinus Mugo Pumilio has a slow growth, barely 5 cm per year. The Dwarf mountain pine Pumilio is also distinguished from other conifers by its size, which does not exceed 1 m in height. Compact and dense, Pinus Mugo Pumilio forms a rounded bush of 1 m in width and 1 m of maximum spread. This property leads to use it as a ground cover or in rock gardens. In addition, growing on the side of the mountains, Pinus Mugo Pumilio naturally retains sloping soils. This pine thus fits very well with sophisticated creations such as a Japanese garden as well as with classic compositions: in pots on a sunny terrace, in particular.
Very resistant, Dwarf mountain pine Pumilio does not require any special maintenance. This shrub is readily associated with other rock garden plants such as lavender, euphorbias, or Japanese blood grass ...
