Casuarina glauca ‘Prostrate’ (Prostrate Swamp Oak)

Casuarina glauca ‘Prostrate’ is a hardy, low-growing Australian native groundcover valued for its soft, fine, needle-like foliage and dense, spreading habit. This evergreen cultivar forms a lush carpet of green, making it an excellent choice for erosion control, stabilising slopes and embankments, or covering large areas with minimal maintenance.

Highly adaptable, it thrives in a wide range of soil types, including sandy, clay, and poorly drained soils, and tolerates coastal conditions, drought, light frost, and occasional waterlogging once established. Its dense foliage also provides valuable shelter for small birds and beneficial wildlife, making it a practical and attractive addition to native, coastal, and low-maintenance landscapes.
