Effusa Juniper
Effusa Juniper (Juniperus communis 'Effusa') is a low-growing, spreading evergreen shrub known for its graceful, arching branches and soft, feathery foliage. This cultivar of the common juniper has a prostrate growth habit, with branches that gently cascade and create a ground-hugging effect. The foliage is composed of scale-like leaves that are a vibrant green color, providing an attractive texture and a pleasant aroma when touched or brushed against. Effusa Juniper is a relatively slow-growing plant, reaching a height of about 1-2 feet with a spread of 4-6 feet over time. It is a versatile and adaptable shrub that thrives in various soil types and is tolerant of drought and heat conditions. Due to its spreading nature, it works well as a ground cover, erosion control plant, or in rock gardens where its cascading branches can drape over rocks or walls. Effusa Juniper is also a popular choice for creating naturalistic and low-maintenance landscapes, as it requires minimal pruning and care once established.
