Easily recognized by its rich dark green needles, the Dwarf Mugo Pine is among the most popular and easiest evergreens to grow in North America. This dwarf conifer is incredibly cold-hardy and easily withstands temperatures down to minus 50°F, making it the top choice of evergreen shrub for gardeners and landscapers in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. Grows easily in any type of soil and requires no pruning or maintenance to achieve its symmetrical rounded form. The Dwarf Mugo Pine lives most comfortably in USDA Cold Hardiness Zones 2 to Zones 8 and reaches a height of 3 ft. to 5 ft. with a spread of 6 ft. to 10 ft. If a low maintenance and hardy coniferous shrub is what your landscape needs, look no further than the Dwarf Mugo Pine.
