'Repandens' English yew (Taxus baccata 'Repandens') is an evergreen shrub for hedges, foundation plantings, ground cover, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It grows low and wide, so give it room to spread. Birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Globosa Colorado spruce, Sango-kaku Japanese maple, and Royal Purple smoketree.
