Slowmound Mugo Pine – Iseli TRUdwarf®Pinus mugo ‘Slowmound’ is an Iseli TRUdwarf® introduction with 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. A highly quality evergreen garden shrub with an extremely dense, mounded habit. Dark green mound is one of the best, with highly reliable color, texture, growth rate and habit. Beautiful year-round, Slowmound Mugo Pine produces many showy buds and matures to a wide, even shape that is naturally compact. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage. At only 1-2′ in 10 years, it works well in even the most confined areas.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. It is considered to be drought-tolerant. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.
