Cushion yew (Taxus baccata ‘Repandens’) - The versatile and elegant table yew for your garden
The cushion yew, also known as Taxus baccata ‘Repandens’, is one of the most versatile and elegant conifers you can plant in your garden. This particular variety of yew is characterised by its flat, broad growth and dark, glossy needles, which remain green all year round and give your garden a calm, elegant touch. Whether as a solitary plant, in groups or as an underplanting - the cushion yew adapts effortlessly and quickly becomes an irreplaceable element in your garden design.
Stylish, easy-care accent for your garden
The cushion disc grows slowly and reaches a height of 50 to 100 cm, while it can expand in width, making it ideal for landscaping. Its compact, spreading growth forms an elegant cushion of dense, evergreen foliage that blends harmoniously into any garden landscape. The cushion yew is particularly beautiful in rock gardens, on graves or as a ground cover along paths and terraces.
An outstanding advantage of Taxus baccata ‘Repandens’ is its extreme robustness. This yew is extremely easy to care for, tolerates shade just as well as sunny locations and is also very adaptable to different soil conditions. It is hardy and also copes well with urban conditions such as air pollution. This makes the cushion yew perfect for gardens in any location and requires little maintenance to maintain its attractive appearance.
Harmonious combinations for impressive garden design
The cushion disc is ideal for combining with other plants to create a balanced, stylish garden design. In combination with perennials such as hostas, ferns and shade grasses such as carex, it looks particularly harmonious and creates calm, green accents in shady garden areas. In combination with flowering shrubs such as rhododendrons or hydrangeas, the cushion yew also creates a contrasting yet balanced composition that is pleasing to the eye.
For gardens that prioritise clean lines and a neat, elegant appearance, Taxus baccata ‘Repandens’ is an ideal partner for boxwood (Buxus) and holly, which share similar growth forms and requirements. Together they form a green oasis that remains attractive all year round and enriches both modern and traditional garden styles.
Wide range of uses - from solitary to group planting
The cushion yew is not only an excellent choice as a ground cover or for extensive planting, but also an elegant accent as a solitary plant in planters on terraces or balconies. Thanks to its compact growth habit, it is also ideal for planting around graves or as a border along paths and walls. Planted in groups, Taxus baccata ‘Repandens’ can be used as a flat, evergreen carpet to add structure and depth to your garden.
Another advantage of the cushion yew is its tolerance to topiary. This means you can shape it as you wish and integrate it into a variety of design concepts without losing its natural beauty and density.
