Casuarina glauca ‘Cousin It’, also known as Little River Wattle, is a unique groundcover plant with long trailing stems and fine needle-like foliage. It can grow up to 30cm tall and prefers full sun to part shade. Easy to care for and drought tolerant.
For a stunning ground cover plant, look no further than this very adaptable coastal plant! Casuarina glauca 'Cousin It' has lush hairy foliage that adds drama to rockeries or flowing down embankments and over the edges of pots. Easy care with low maintenance requirements makes it an ideal addition for gardens across temperate, subtropical regions - even those near beaches since this tough little one can take some salt spray too! Deeply rooted in dry spells and frost tolerant (though heavy frosts may brown off the top layer) new growth will appear quickly come springtime.
