A hardy and versatile New Zealand native groundcover, Muehlenbeckia axillaris forms a dense, spreading mat of fine, wirey stems adorned with small, rounded dark green leaves. In summer it produces tiny, cream star-shaped flowers that add subtle seasonal interest.

Ideal for rockeries, retaining walls, pathways and erosion control, this low-growing evergreen plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Tolerant of drought, wind and light foot traffic, it’s a resilient and attractive option for low-maintenance native planting schemes.
