Juniperus communis ‘Effusa’ is a low-growing, spreading evergreen valued for its soft, blue-green foliage and naturally tidy form. This tough, adaptable juniper creates a dense, carpet-like groundcover that looks great year-round and helps suppress weeds. Its refined texture and excellent cold hardiness make it a dependable choice for slopes, borders, and low-maintenance landscapes.

Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. Water regularly during the first growing season, then only during extended dry periods. Minimal pruning needed—trim lightly in early spring if desired. Fertilize sparingly in spring if growth is weak.
