Product Details

Spreading Plum Yew

Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Prostrata'

Spreading Plum Yew is an evergreen shrub valued for its deep green, strap-like needles that create a soft, layered look. The arching branches form a wide, flowing shape, adding depth and structure to shaded planting areas. Its low, spreading habit allows it to cover space evenly while maintaining a natural, relaxed appearance. Reaching about 2 to 3 feet tall and spreading 4 to 6 feet wide at maturity, it develops a broad, textural presence that works well in shade plantings, borders, and as a groundcover.

  • Evergreen shrub
  • Dark green, needle foliage
  • Low-spreading growth habit
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Excellent for shade plantings, borders, and groundcover areas

Spreading Plum Yew loves partial to full shade and soils with good drainage. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, it gives year-round texture and a soft, spreading form in Texas landscapes.
