Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Valley cushion mugo pine is an attractive, low-growing dwarf mugo pine. Rather than growing into a mound, Valley Cushion slowly spreads almost like a mat, growing much wider than it is tall.
It's deep green color and uniform appearance are lovely. This can be a great alternative to spreading junipers for small gardens.
Valley Cushion mugo pine has been a great performer in the dwarf conifer rock garden at the Xeriscape Garden. It has a nice green color and uniform appearance. It has not spread into a mat yet, but is very attractive. It is definitely worth considering wherever a short, uniform evergreen is desired.
No maintenance required. Unlike other mugo pines, Valley Cushion mugo pine does not require candle pruning to keep it small.
