The compact Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata ‘Paradekissen’ was actually discovered in an alpine valley in the mountains of Switzerland. It grows into a low spreading mound that looks very much like a green pillow. Rich, deep green short needles cover the plant providing a dense, tidy, slow growing ground cover. An excellent choice for trough gardens or other group container plantings. Perfectly scaled for the alpine or rock gardens, this hardy pine performs its best in full sun and well-drained soil.
