Casuarina Cousin It

Casuarina glauca ‘Cousin It’ is a tough, low-maintenance Australian native groundcover, recognised for its dense, cascading, weeping habit that resembles a flowing mound of fine green foliage. It typically grows around 10–30 cm high and can spread up to 1.5 metres wide, making it ideal for erosion control, retaining walls, and rockeries.

Key Characteristics & Benefits:

• Appearance: Soft, fine, trailing green foliage that forms a thick, flowing mat often described as a “shagpile” effect.
• Hardiness: Highly resilient, with strong tolerance to drought, frost, and coastal conditions, including salt exposure.
• Versatility: Performs well in full sun to part shade and adapts to a wide range of soils, including heavy, wet, or dry conditions.
• Maintenance: Very low maintenance, with excellent weed suppression qualities, often used as a living mulch.
• Uses: Suitable for hanging baskets, pots, sloping sites, embankments, and as a textural feature plant in modern landscapes.
