Casuarina glauca Cousin It

Description

A curious and amusing looking low spreading plant from eastern Australia. Its tiny green needle-like leaves covering small grey-brown branches spread as a groundcover over walls and terraces in a garden. Stays quite low to the ground. Will grow in full sun or partial shade in most soils. Grows naturally in saline soils on the coast so can tolerate tough conditions.
