Pinus flexilis 'Lil Wolf' | Lil Wolf Dwarf Limber Pine

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Pinus flexilis 'Lil Wolf' features soft blue-green needles borne in bundles of five, creating a dense evergreen canopy with a refined texture that remains attractive throughout the year. The flexible branches support layers of gently curved foliage, while fresh spring growth emerges with lighter tones that add depth and seasonal contrast. Small reddish female cones and pale yellow pollen cones appear in spring, bringing subtle ornamental interest among the needles and highlighting the plant's conifer character.

Originating from a species native to the Rocky Mountains of western North America, this cultivar was selected for its compact form and handsome foliage. It is well suited to rock gardens, conifer collections, foundation plantings, and mixed borders, where its evergreen structure and soft texture provide year-round interest.
