| Wire Vine |
Muehlenbeckia complexa
Originally from New Zealand, the Wire Vine is a twining climber capable of stretching out for nearly 20ft if you let it. This plant tolerates pruning so feel free to keep it to a manageable size. Dense, wire like stems are covered with tiny small round light green leaves. In late spring or summer, tiny creamy green flowers add further interest. Fleshy white fruit appears thereafter. Can grow in sun or shade. Moist, well drained soil is best. It's a great plant for covering banks, walls, structures and can even be used in containers. It's an evergreen, but some winter protection may be required as it's hardy in zones 8-10.
