Description
Short, shrubby varieties are neat in appearance with branches that grow to within inches of the soil. It has a naturally spreading habit and tolerates light shearing. In spring, new growth shoots almost straight up at the tips of the horizontal stems to form “candles.” Lighter in color than the older foliage, the candles form an attractive accent that rises above the shrub. Shearing off the candles results in dense growth the following season.
‘Mughus’ is a slow-growing, cushion-shaped variety with dark-green 2-fascicles needles. Uses: rock gardens, embankments, planters, perennial beds.
