About this plant
Taxus baccata 'Repandens,' commonly known as Spreading or Dwarf English Yew, is an evergreen shrub prized for its low, wide-spreading growth habit and dark green, needle-like foliage. Perfect for shaded areas, this cultivar provides year-round interest and is celebrated for its elegant, dense form. Its slow growth makes it ideal for foundation plantings, ground cover, or accenting shaded garden spaces. Female plants may produce inconspicuous red berries that enhance visual appeal and attract wildlife. A versatile species, Taxus b. 'Repandens' thrives in a variety of conditions.
