For a lovely, low-maintenance evergreen hedge or foundation planting, use the classic Taunton Spreading Yew shrub (Taxus x media 'Tauntonii')! With its low graceful and lovely form, this shrub makes the perfect accent to any landscape.
A type of Japanese Yew, the Taunton Spreading Yew grows with a sophisticated, spreading form. Landscapers love to use these plants because of their rich evergreen foliage, ease of care, and versatility.
This plant has fluffy, soft evergreen foliage of short dark green needles all year long - even in the winter months! What makes dwarf Taunton's Yew so valuable is that it is an evergreen that can grow in full sun, part shade, or total shade. They are one of the few evergreens that will tolerate full shade.
This really opens the door to using them everywhere throughout your landscape. This shrub is well-known for being both tolerant of summer heat and resistant to winter burn. They'll work in the cold winters of Zone 4 and tolerate the sticky humid heat of Zone 7 summers without blinking an eye. They truly are incredibly easy to care for!
As the rest of your garden rests during the winter, this shrub will continue to be eye-catching as its beautiful dark green color never fades! With an easy-care, excellent compact and dense growth habit, landscape architects have been seeing them with fresh eyes for use in today's landscapes
