Description
MUEHLENBECKIA COMPLEXA
MAIDENHAIR VINE or CREEPING WIRE VINE
Creeping Wire Vine is wiry, but it leaps more than creeps. It’s a fast spreader and should be used where you don’t care where it wanders. It’s great for slopes that need a quick cover.
Hard pruning once a year in spring will refresh and thicken the plants. The tiny round leaves are a nice glossy green that turns bronze toward winter and sometimes in extreme heat. The flowers are insignificant but white berries will form toward the end of summer.
Muehlenbeckia complexa is very tolerant of poor soil and drought once established. It appreciates some shade in hot weather.
It is useful as low matted groundcover in full sun to partial shade, the flowers are white and small. It is quite tough and will stand being walked on like grass. This vine is also a great topiary plant.
ENJOY WORKING WITH THIS RARE VINE!
