Pinus cembra 'Blue Mound'
Blue Mound Swiss Stone Pine
Blue Mound Swiss Stone Pine (Pinus cembra ‘Blue Mound’) offers soft blue needles in a compact evergreen framework. Despite its name, propagated plants generally become taller than they are wide, giving the garden a small upright accent.
The cool foliage color is easy to combine with deep green or golden companions. Its modest ten-year footprint suits a smaller conifer collection, though the tree continues to develop beyond that age.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
