The native range of this species is E. New South Wales to Tasmania, New Zealand. It is a subshrub and grows primarily in the temperate biome.

Little 'pohuehue', of those hard working little groundcover plants you can use in so many places 🌿The botanical name is Muehlenbeckia axillaris if you’re looking for it at the garden centre. It's the smallest of the lovely Muehlenbeckia family.Maturing at below 400mm high, it's a scambling plant, so it'll cover rocks etc or just make its way across a sunny area of your garden 🌞 It makes the perfect groudcover companion plant to many NZ native plants, like the mountain flax in this photo…

🤭After over 180 likes on this last time I posted it, someone finally told me I'd made a typo... Pohuehue or creeping 'wire vine', not 'wire wine' as I'd labelled it 😂, I must have been posting at wine o'clock 🥂 Both common names are easier to remember than this lovely plant's botanical name of Muehlenbeckia axillaris 🤐. One of our smaller NZ native plants, it's best in full sun 🌞 where it'll scramble and spread a good distance while still remaining low - at around 300mm max. Can also…

Muehlenbeckia axillaris or Creeping Wire Vine grows only 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm.) tall, depending on the variety and the climate. Creeping wire vine is reliably evergreen in zone 7 to 9, and it thrives in these warm climates. It can be grown as a deciduous plant in zone 6 and possibly in warmer parts of zone 5.

River stones make a great weed suppressor for your garden, but they can look a little stark and, dare I say it....a little boring 😴. 🌿Fortunately, drought-tolerant plants like the Muehlenbeckia axillaris in this photo (also known as 'pohuehue' and 'creeping wire vine') are more than happy to scramble over stones, giving a much softer, greener and more interesting look. You can add the riverstones after planting, or if they are there already and you're keen for this softer look, you can…

This relaxed 'Urban Forest' themed Auckland garden includes a narrow space surrounded by other townhouses. New Zealand native trees (Titoki, Kowhai) +fragrant Michelia shrubs are a pleasing combination along the edge of the informal path of 'Gap 7', edged in steel to contain the chip. The spreading groundcover where the sculpture is nestled is native Muehlenbeckia axillaris. The gate from Eucalyptus cladding marks the entry into the shared driveway area.

These Muehlenbeckia Axillaris are thriving because of the warm and humid weather. Their brown wandering stems with green/yellow tone leaves covered on are extending fastly, looking for new colony.
