| Taxus x media 'Densiformis' | USDA Zone: 4-7 |
One of the most popular evergreen shrubs today, you will find this beauty in residential foundation plantings, commercial landscapes and container gardens all over North America.
Soft, fluffy, new growth in early spring gives the shrub bright green needles that continue to mature to a rich, deep green that holds all year round. Densiformis responds beautifully to trimming much like a Boxwood does. Even when grown into its full shape naturally, this Yew looks fantastic in many different settings. Densiformis Yew does well in shade.

Yews like Densiformis make fantastic hedges and are great for adding structure to a garden even creating outdoor rooms. Whether sheared into formal hedges or rounded forms, or allowed to grow a bit more naturally, Yews are very easy to care for. Pair with Red Twigged Dogwoods and Ornamental Grasses for a wonderful look all winter long. Mix in roses, perennials or other flowering shrubs in your foundation plantings. Keep it lively with bright-eyed Potentilla. Or, join the Edible Garden trend and plant Blueberries. In shaded areas, mass plant them as an understory plant and add Azaleas and Rhododendrons in the more shaded areas. Or, you can grow them in complete sun in the rose garden and sunny perennial gardens too. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
