Yew

This evergreen shrub is a shade garden staple here in Arkansas! The fine-textured needles provide a soft look and contrast well with bold texture of many other, larger leaved shade plants, such as Fatsia. Foliage color is usually a dark green with new growth a contrasting bright green. Plant characteristics such as form vary with species; Yews may be columnar, spreading, or even groundcover forms. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in part sun to shade.
