Valley Cushion Dwarf Mugo Pine

Pinus mugo ‘Valley Cushion’

‘Valley Cushion’ offers a spreading habit to the mix of TRUdwarf^® mugo choices. The very compact, dense pine stays low and flat, much wider than tall. Reddish, new buds complement the short, medium green needles, and plants grow very slowly, so they require little or no pruning. Selected at the North Willamette Research Station in Oregon’s famed Willamette Valley, this cultivar is extremely hardy and an excellent choice for cold parts of the country.

Many perennials and bonsai plants will have a ‘winter look’ that differs from how they look when actively growing.  Colder temperatures and short days alter the appearance of these plants as they go thru seasonal changes.  Some plants require this reboot to bloom and/or perform at their best during the growing season.  Plants may remain semi-dormant until early spring.  Rest assured that these cosmetic changes do not adversely affect the health of your plant.
