Muehlenbeckia axillaris, commonly known as Creeping Wire Vine, is a versatile and charming ground cover that brings effortless beauty to any garden. With its fine, wiry stems and tiny round leaves, it forms a dense, cascading carpet of greenery that softens hard edges and fills spaces with natural elegance. Evergreen and hardy, it offers year-round texture and colour, thriving in Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters.

Naturally native to New Zealand’s alpine regions, Creeping Wire Vine adapts beautifully to Western Cape gardens, where it flourishes in full sun to partial shade and tolerates coastal conditions with ease.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Water-wise once established, perfect for sustainable Cape Town gardening
• Evergreen foliage ensures year-round interest and texture
• Works beautifully as ground cover, in hanging baskets, or cascading over walls and rockeries
• Hardy and low-maintenance, ideal for busy gardeners
• Thrives in Cape Town’s varied seasons with minimal fuss

Planting & Care:

Plant your Creeping Wire Vine in well-draining soil and water regularly until established. Once settled, it becomes drought-tolerant and thrives in coastal conditions, needing only occasional trimming to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. In Cape Town gardens, it produces small yellow-white flowers from late spring into early summer, adding a subtle sparkle to its dense mat of glossy green leaves on red-brown stems.

Though often chosen as a humble ground cover, Creeping Wire Vine can be trained to climb and weave through rocks or walls, transforming overlooked corners into living, textured tapestries that surprise and delight.
