Who doesn’t love a little dome of winter loveliness when the weather is dull? The importance of form and structure become highly evident in the winter months when evergreen plants become the backbone of a design.
Pinus domes are excellent for creating soft form in the winter months. Not truly symmetrical but that seems to add to their charm.
Two Pinus of note on the nursery at the moment are:
Pinus mugo Winter Gold. This dwarf pine has needles that take on a golden colour as the weather gets colder contrasting with other evergreen plants. Slow to grow and with a rounded growth habit means it will not get out of control and is ideal planted amongst winter interest plants.
Pinus nigra Pierrick Bregeon. Another dwarf Pine option that has dark green needles in comparison. Green cones mature to pale brown adding interest in the spring.
There are plenty of other Dwarf Pines options in stock. Great in pots too
