Vinyl Green Tie is a flexible vinyl tying tubing designed specifically for supporting plants, shrubs, and trees while allowing natural growth and movement. This durable, weather-resistant tie material provides gentle yet secure support for stems, branches, and climbing plants without cutting into bark or restricting circulation. The soft vinyl construction stretches slightly with plant growth, making it ideal for long-term plant training and support applications. Essential for securing plants to stakes, trellises, and support structures in gardens, orchards, and landscaping projects. Use by cutting to desired length and wrapping gently around stems and supports, checking periodically to ensure ties aren't becoming too tight as plants develop and mature.

A trellis is the perfect structure for climbers & creepers. They can also be used to fence of an area in the garden or purely as decoration.

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.

Bring vibrant Mediterranean charm to the garden with Bougainvillea Fuchsia, a spectacular, sun-loving climber that produces masses of vivid fuchsia-pink, papery bracts. In Cape Town, it can produce its main flowering displays from spring through summer, often continuing into autumn when conditions remain warm and sunny. The true flowers are tiny and creamy-white, surrounded by the brilliant fuchsia bracts that create the plant’s unforgettable colour display. Perfect for covering walls, fences and pergolas, Bougainvillea can also be trained as a feature shrub, clipped into a hedge or grown in containers. Give it full sun, warmth and excellent drainage for the best flowering, and avoid excessive watering, as established plants have relatively low water needs. Its thorny stems can also make it useful as a colourful screening or security planting.

Why You'll Love It:

• Vibrant fuchsia-pink bracts create a spectacular display.
• Sun-loving, it thrives in warm sunny positions.
• Low water needs once established.
• Versatile and perfect for walls, pergolas, screens and pots.
• Long flowering season, enjoy colour from spring into autumn in favourable conditions.

Plant & Care

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, as plenty of direct sunlight encourages the best flowering. Water regularly while establishing, then water deeply but less frequently allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune lightly after a flowering flush to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. More substantial shaping is best done in late winter or early spring before vigorous new growth begins. 

Did You Know?

Those spectacular fuchsia “flowers” aren’t actually flowers at all! They are papery modified leaves called bracts, which surround the plant’s tiny, inconspicuous true flowers. It’s these brilliantly coloured bracts that give Bougainvillea its famous, almost tropical-looking display.
