Casuarina glauca prostrate 'Shagpile' 14cm

Casuarina glauca prostrate 'Shagpile'

'Shagpile' is a selected form of Casuarina glauca. This plant has a prostrate cascading ground cover habit, making it suitable for any garden that requires low plantings. Perfect choice for low borders or can be used to cascade over retaining walls. Shagpile's soft grey/green stringy-like foliage provides contrast in the garden making it an extremely versatile plant for the landscape design. 

Grows best in full sun to dappled shade and is adaptable to most well drained soils. This ground cover is also excellent to use in coastal gardens. 

Its a very hardy compact ground cover that requires little maintenance. It is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help establish the plant when first planted. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
