Casuarina Cousin IT - 14cm Pot

Casuarina glauca ‘Cousin It’ is a unique, low-growing Australian native groundcover prized for its cascading, fine-textured foliage and dense, spreading habit. Its soft, needle-like leaves form a flowing mat of green to grey-green tones, creating a striking visual effect as it drapes over edges, walls and containers.

Naturally compact yet wide-spreading, Cousin It is excellent for weed suppression, groundcover planting and softening hard edges in the landscape. Its trailing form also makes it a standout choice for pots and raised planters, where it can spill gracefully over the sides.

Hardy and adaptable, this variety tolerates coastal conditions, light frost and poor soils, making it a reliable option for a wide range of environments.

Mature size: approximately 20cm high × 1 metre wide

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Cousin It is highly adaptable and will tolerate a range of soil types, including poorer soils, provided drainage is good. Avoid waterlogged conditions.

Water regularly while establishing, then reduce, as it becomes drought tolerant once mature. Supplementary watering during extended dry periods will support best performance.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring if needed to control spread or maintain shape. Apply a native fertiliser in spring if growth appears slow.

Ideal for
– Groundcover and weed suppression
– Cascading over walls and edges
– Borders and mass planting
– Pots, containers and raised planters
– Coastal and low-maintenance gardens
