Dwarf Mountain Pine Golden Glow

A dwarf pine with golden highlights, Pinus mugo Golden Glow is a small, slow-growing, evergreen shrub with an upright but rounded, bushy habit. The paired, slender needles are yellow and green in summer, and turn golden yellow in winter, with orange buds, giving a bright splash of colour to the winter garden. Flowers are insignificant, but there are brown cones in autumn and winter. Dwarf mountain pine Golden Glow is particularly suited to growing in rock gardens, which provide the sharp drainage it needs. No pruning required!
