TAXUS × MEDIA ‘ANDERSONII’ / ANDERSON'S SPREADING YEW
Low, Spreading Evergreen for Ground Cover and Hedges
Taxus × media ‘Andersonii,’ commonly known as Anderson's Spreading Yew, is a low-growing, spreading evergreen with soft, dark green foliage and a wide spreading habit. This versatile shrub is perfect for creating dense ground covers, natural-looking hedges, or low-maintenance borders. Its slow growth and dense form make it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a hardy, easy-to-care-for shrub that offers year-round greenery.
Why Choose Anderson's Spreading Yew?
Comparison: Unlike taller yew varieties, ‘Andersonii’ has a much lower, spreading form, making it perfect for ground cover or low hedges. It provides the same soft, lush green foliage of traditional yews but in a compact, low-maintenance package.
Companions: Pairs well with other ground-covering plants like Pachysandra and Hosta or with taller evergreens like Dwarf Alberta Spruce for a layered, textured landscape.
Key Features:
- Spreading Growth Habit: Naturally forms a dense, spreading mat, making it ideal for ground cover or low hedging.
- Soft, Dark Green Foliage: Provides year-round greenery with a lush, refined texture.
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal pruning and care, making it an excellent choice for low-effort landscapes.
- Shade-Tolerant & Versatile: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, adapting well to various soil types.
- Cold-Hardy & Resilient: Tolerates cold winters and harsh weather conditions, making it perfect for a variety of climates.
Specifications:
- Mature Height: 60–90 cm tall
- Mature Width: 1.5–2 m wide
- Growth Rate: Slow (5–10 cm per year)
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
- Hardiness: Zone 4–7
Anderson's Spreading Yew is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-growing, dense evergreen with minimal maintenance requirements. Whether used as a ground cover, low hedge, or border, its spreading habit and year-round foliage make it a reliable addition to any landscape.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
