The cultivar 'Sunshine' is known and prized for its yellow-banding variegation. This feature will be accentuated with new growth in the spring and possibly cold weather in the winter.

The 'Sunshine' is variegated/banding the whole year...
Pinus mugo 'Sunshine'

The same counts for the following one's
Pinus mugo 'Kokarde'

Pinus mugo 'Chameleon'

Pinus mugo 'Misty'

Edwin, which one is your favorite in person? 'Misty' or 'Kokarde' seems to have the best color. Tough to tell.

Will, the 'Misty' is my most favorite one, it does have very special colour effects in all differend types of weather.
Another good characteristic for this one is that it never will burn in full sun, the other 3 one's do...

I'm sorry for the blurry old pics, it's time to make some new one's with my other camara ;0)

Those are some really gorgeous mugos for some bright coloring. Are these mugos fairly hardy? I know that I grow other mugo pines and they do very well for me.

Thanks.

Lady, if other mugo pines will do well for you, you won't have problems with these beauties as well...

Love, love, love them! I snagged a P. mugo 'Carstens' at the ACS auction on Friday night and now I want these others, as well. Thanks for the photos, Edwin, you've given me more to add to my list!

Hi! I have a P. mugo 'Orange Sun', wich I'm going to re-name 'Green Sun', because I have never seen as much as 1 orange needle on it ! I hope it's not one of these irradiated plants of wich we're seeing more and more coming onto the market (in certain plant families,anyway ! ) T.

PS Sunshine isn't lacking over here,so it can't be down to that !

PS 2 Thanks for sending me your list Clement !
