Garden Goods Direct Dwarf Mugo Pine
Best low maintenance evergreen for small scale residential landscaping projects.
This is the ultimate low-effort anchor for a structured landscape. Its slow, mounded growth means you won't be fighting to keep it in check, though you sacrifice rapid height for that perfectly manicured, year-round consistency. It’s the rare shrub that actually stays exactly where you put it.
