Muehlenbeckia axillaris
Muehlenbeckia axillaris is a low evergreen shrub, forming wiry mats up to about in diameter, native to New Zealand, and the Australian states of Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria. It has thin, red-brown stems, with glossy squarish to roundish leaves that are less than in diameter and thick. Flowers are inconspicuous, yellowish-white, in diameter, and borne in groups of up to three in the axils. The fruit is black, shiny, and up to long, produced in late summer to fall.
The plant is hardy, drought-tolerant, and quick-growing, thriving in a range of light conditions. It can be cultivated as a ground cover and grows well in rocky ground, as well as standard potting soil. Although it grows fastest in warm seasons, it tolerates freezing weather.
