Mugo Pine
![](/cache/files/fcrop_w374_h374//files/plant_images/065672.003.jpg)
A covering of 2" needles gives this small pine a uniform appearance. Its slow growth will prevent it from taking over your yard. Makes a nice rock garden shrub. Roots grow close to the surface, so heavy mulching is recommended.
