Pinus sylvestris 'Green Penguin'
Pinus sylvestris 'Green Penguin', known as 'Green Penguin' Scots Pine, is a dwarf conifer with a compact and highly architectural habit that immediately draws attention in landscape designs. This selection forms a naturally narrow and conical silhouette reminiscent of a small penguin, hence its distinctive name. Its dense foliage is composed of dark green, slightly bluish needles that retain their color year-round and add an elegant texture to the garden. Thanks to its slow growth and modest size, this pine is perfectly suited for rockeries, dwarf conifer beds, alpine gardens, or cultivation in large containers. Very hardy and low-maintenance, it tolerates ordinary, well-drained soils and cold conditions well, making it an excellent choice for northern gardens seeking a durable structural plant.
