Muehlenbeckia complexa

An evergreen climber native to New Zealand, Muehlenbeckia complexa has wiry, twining stems and tiny, bright green, fiddle-shaped leaves. A vigorous yet useful addition to nearly any garden, looking particularly good when used for screening and allowed to ramble over logs, old stumps and up slopes or walls.

Also Muehlenbeckia complexa is great for climbing through and enlivening an old conifer which may otherwise be past its sell by date!
