- My dense trailing form looks great cascading over retaining walls and in rockeries
- I am happy growing in the garden or in pots and other containers
- A living mulch I suppress weeds and retain moisture. Great mass planted arranged formally or informally
- I am happy growing in most soils and conditions including wet boggy soils or dry conditions
I am ‘Cousin It’, a prostrate form of the very hardy swamp She-Oak.
My dense needle like foliage forms a thick shagpile like carpet that is well suited to a broad variety of garden styles. I am a favourite in rockeries, cascading down embankments, over retaining walls and even in pots, often as an under planting.
I am sufficiently dense that I outcompete most weeds leading to a tidy flowing appearance with minimal maintenance.
Happy in most soils I will thrive in damp locations where other plants may struggle but am tolerant of dry conditions once established. I am also tolerant of frost and other extremes of temperature.
I am a great all round Australian native ground cover.
