Pinus Mugo Winter Gold | 2 Litre Pot

A slow-growing, dwarf evergreen conifer with yellow winter foliage. Position: full sun Soil: moist, well-drained neutral to slightly acid soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Hardiness: fully hardy A beautiful splash of golden foliage is always welcome, particularly during the darker months, and ‘Winter Gold’ excels as a slow-growing, compact conifer for city pots, contemporary gardens and of course Japanese-style gardens. Paired, twisted needles emerge bright green in spring before turning golden-yellow during winter. Wind and pollution tolerant, this dwarf mountain pine works well as an accent plant or to provide scale to other coniferous plantings. Garden care: Pruning is not usually necessary, however any shoots that ruin the symmetry of the plant can be removed in autumn. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the immediate crown) in late winter.
