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.

Pohuehue

Pohuehue, scientifically known as Muehlenbeckia complexa, is a low growing groundcover plant or climbing vine. This NZ native forms a dense mat of wiry, brown stems carrying tiny, green leaves. The foliage is adorned with masses of white flowers through summer which result in small, white berries. It typically 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. It performs best when planted in in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site and is tolerant of extended dry periods, coastal conditions, frost, and cool climates. Pohuehue is great for covering large areas quickly. It makes for an attractive ground cover and will tolerate a reasonable amount of foot traffic. Muehlenbeckia complexa will tend to grow over everything in its path so some trimming may be required from time to time. Its climbing nature makes it great for growing on fences or trellises for topiary.
