Discover the unique allure of Pinus mugo var. mughus, a rare subspecies of Mugo Pine renowned for its compact, dense form. Known as Swiss Mountain Pine, this exceptional evergreen adds a touch of elegance to diverse landscapes with its rounded mound shape, achieving 5 to 6 feet in height and up to 8 feet in width at maturity. Perfect for those who relish garden artistry, it can be pruned annually to maintain a nearly perfect spherical form, making it a textural gem in Japanese and rock gardens, or home foundation plantings.

Easy to grow and extremely resilient, Mughus Mugo Pine thrives in full to mostly sun, adapting to all well-drained soil types. Its remarkable drought and salt air tolerance makes it ideal for coastal settings, while its minimal water needs suit Xeriscape gardens. Use it as a striking specimen, hedge, or to frame entryways, and watch it complement small trees like Japanese Maples beautifully. Its modest size and low-maintenance nature mean no pruning is necessary, though the pine responds favorably for those seeking size control or creative shaping. Perfectly suited for both ground planting and container growing, it’s an excellent choice for bonsai enthusiasts and garden devotees alike. Space 4 feet apart for a hedge, or 9 feet for individual standout presence, and let the distinct charm of Swiss Mountain Pine enrich your outdoor oasis.
