Low Ground Cover Plants
Muehlenbeckia complexa
Muehlenbeckia complexa, commonly known as Maidenhair Vine, Creeping Wire Vine, or Pohuehue, is a low growing groundcover plant or climbing vine. This NZ native forms a dense mat of wiry, brown stems carrying tiny, green leaves. It grows to 30 cm tall and 2 m wide as a groundcover, but will climb fences, etc, with its twining stems to much larger sizes. Muehlenbeckia complexa makes for an attractive ground cover and will tolerate a reasonable amount of foot traffic. Its climbing nature makes it great for growing on fences or trellises for topiary.

Dymondia margaretae
Dymondia margaretae, commonly known as Silver Carpet, is a low growing, groundcover plant. It produces narrow leaves which are grey-green and when the white undersides of the leaves are exposed they give a variegated appearance. Small and yellow, daisy like flowers are borne during summer as it grows to just 6 cm tall and 30 cm wide. Dymondia margaretae can be used as a lawn replacement, particularly in dry areas, and is often used a filler between pavers or stepping stones. It is also commonly used as a groundcover, maintained in a container, used in cottage gardens, or added to Mediterranean themed gardens.
