Shagpile (Casuarina glauca)

Shagpile (Casuarina glauca) is a distinctive and hardy groundcover known for its dense, cascading, needle-like foliage that creates a soft, shaggy carpet of green. This low-growing plant spreads up to 1-2 m wide, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, making it ideal for rockeries, embankments, or as a groundcover in both coastal and inland gardens. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it is perfect for adding texture and a natural, flowing appearance to your landscape. Plant in spring or autumn, and water regularly until established. Shagpile is an excellent choice for a unique and resilient groundcover that adds character to any garden.
