Plum Yew Prostrata (Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Prostrata')
Plum Yew Prostrata is a versatile evergreen shrub known for its low, spreading growth habit and lush, deep green needle-like foliage. This dwarf conifer offers a refined look with its arching branches, creating a dense groundcover that thrives in shaded or partially shaded areas.
Unlike many conifers, it tolerates heat and humidity, making it a reliable choice for southern gardens. Its year-round greenery, adaptability, and deer resistance make it perfect for borders, foundations, and woodland landscapes.
