Casuarina glauca 'Cousin It'- Ground Cover

Casuarina 'Cousin It'

Casuarina 'Cousin It' is a striking, ultra-low groundcover prized for its unique, cascading fine foliage that gives it a soft, textural, almost feathery appearance, quite unlike any other groundcover on the market.

Growing to just 10cm high but spreading up to 1-1.5m wide, this hardy Australian native forms a dense, weeping mat of fine, needle-like foliage that works beautifully cascading over retaining walls, spilling from pots, or filling large garden beds with a soft, textural contrast.

Extremely tough and adaptable, it tolerates full sun to part shade, handles poor and sandy soils with ease, and is notably drought and salt tolerant once established, making it a reliable low-water choice for gardens across Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide, including exposed coastal positions.

Low-maintenance and rarely needing pruning, Casuarina 'Cousin It' is an excellent choice for those wanting a distinctive, hardy groundcover with year-round textural interest.
