Cousin It (Casuarina glauca ‘Cousin It’) is a standout Australian native groundcover loved for its soft, cascading foliage and naturally mounded shape. Perfect for sunny garden beds, slopes, pots, and spilling over retaining walls, it brings beautiful texture and a relaxed native feel to any landscape.
Tough, drought tolerant, and low maintenance once established, Cousin It is an easy choice for modern gardens, coastal spaces, and low care planting designs.
Does Cousin It spread by itself?
Yes, Cousin It naturally spreads outward as it grows, forming a soft, cascading groundcover. It doesn’t run aggressively, but it will slowly cover space over time, making it ideal for slopes, garden edges, and filling gaps.
Do I need to prune or maintain Cousin It?
Cousin It is very low maintenance. Pruning isn’t essential, but a light trim once or twice a year can help keep the shape neat or encourage denser growth. Most gardeners simply let it mound and spill naturally.
What does “standard” mean in relation to this plant?
“Standard” refers to Cousin It being grafted or trained onto a single clear stem, creating a small weeping feature plant (like a mini umbrella shape). This form is perfect for pots or as a statement plant, while the groundcover form spreads along the ground.
We offer reliable delivery services with a standard charge of $77 for Metro Melbourne.
For advanced plants in 100L pot sizes, delivery is $149.
Trade projects, regional, and interstate deliveries are individually quoted, and we’re happy to provide a custom price based on your specific requirements.
Orders are usually delivered within a couple of days after orders are received, with busy days or peak seasons (e.g Spring), sometimes taking a few additional days for delivery.
Once your order is ready for shipment we will contact you prior to advise on your estimated delivery day and time.
On your delivery day our driver will call you half an hour prior to delivery.
For most deliveries, the plants will be placed in the front garden in a safe and secure location. For advanced-size plants, we will arrange for curb-side delivery.
Please note that unfortunately drivers will not enter into apartment buildings. For additional delivery information please contact us on orders@impressiveplants.com

Our plants cannot be viewed in person, as we minimise our costs by not having a physical retail shop.
That’s how Impressive Plants offers the highest quality, mature plants, at great prices.

We are also able to arrange deliveries to NSW and South Australia.
Your delivery will arrive via a professional plant transportation company.
Please note if you are ordering plants outside Victoria, first check with your states horticultural guidelines as not all plants are able to be supplied interstate.

Generally orders are delivered within a few days. We will inform you which day your plants will arrive.
The day prior to your delivery we will let you know an approximate time of delivery.
On the day, the driver will call you half an hour prior to delivery.
For most deliveries, plants are placed in the front garden, in a safe and secure location. For advanced and oversized plants, curb side delivery is provided.
Please note that due to insurance purposes our drivers unfortunately can not enter into apartment buildings.
We do our best to ensure most orders arrive together in one delivery. However, if you’ve ordered a specialty item such as a Japanese Maple, it may be sent separately from one of our trusted specialty growers. This allows us to source the finest plants from the best growers for you. If your order is arriving in separate deliveries, our team will be in touch to let you know.
You can purchase directly online via checkout. Payment methods include credit card and Pay Pal. If your order is a custom order (Trade, Regional or Interstate) you will receive an invoice which can be paid via transfer or Pay Pal.
Yes, our photos are regularly updated to reflect the current availability of plants, their heights, sizes, and prices. If you require additional photos or confirmation of plant heights, we are always available to provide you with the information you need to make a confident purchase.
Please understand if your are purchasing a deciduous plant, the photos will show plants with their foliage.
While our office is located in the heart of Melbourne in Hawthorn, many of our customers are looking for a nursery nearby. Impressive Plants is an online nursery. We are able to delivery plants throughout Metro Melbourne suburbs, as well as Regional Victoria.
