Evergreen Pinus Strobus (White Pine)
Color Name: Blue Shag
Pinus strobus 'Blue Shag' is a compact, slow-growing dwarf Eastern white pine known for its soft, finely textured needles and rounded, mounded form. Its short, bluish-green foliage creates a lush, fluffy appearance that stays attractive year-round. Typically reaching about 2-4 feet in height and width at maturity, 'Blue Shag' is ideal for small gardens, foundation plantings, and rock gardens, offering a gentle, cool-toned evergreen presence with very low maintenance needs.
Growing Tips:
Location: Plant in well-draining soil in a sunny to partially shaded area of your garden.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the establishment period. Once established, it's more drought-tolerant.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required.
