Casuarina glauca Prostrate 'Shagpile'

Shagpile is a selected form of Casuarina glauca Prostrate with a cascading ground cover habit making this plant suitable for any garden that requires low plantings.

POSITION: Grows best in full sun in open areas and is adaptable to most well drained soils. This ground cover is also excellent to use in coastal gardens.

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

USES: Shagpile is an attractive compact ground cover that is the perfect choice for low borders. Shagpile’s soft grey/green stringy-like foliage provides contrast in the garden making it an extremely versatile plant for landscape design.
