Muehlenbeckia complexa

Wire Vine, Maidenhair Vine, Pohuehue

Description:

A vigorous, evergreen, twining native climber or groundcover with fine, wiry, dark stems and small round green leaves. It forms dense, tangled mats or can climb over supports. Tiny, greenish-white flowers appear in summer, followed by small white translucent berries. Attractive for its delicate texture and hardy nature, it’s often used for covering banks, walls, or as a filler plant in mixed plantings.

Height:

0.3 – 2 m (can climb higher if supported)

Width:

1 – 4 m spread

Position:

Full sun to part shade

Soil:

Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates sandy, loamy, or rocky soils

Uses:

·        Groundcover for banks and slopes

·        Climber on trellises, fences, or walls

·        Coastal gardens (tolerates salt spray)

·        Native and wildlife gardens

·        Containers or hanging baskets (trailing habit)

·        Erosion control on slopes

Care Tips:

·        Keep moist while establishing, then only occasional watering needed

·        Trim regularly to control spread or shape — it can become invasive if not managed

·        Apply a slow-release native or general fertiliser in spring

·        Mulch around base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds

·        Generally pest-free and disease-resistant

·        Can handle coastal winds and poor soils; prune hard annually if it becomes woody or straggly
