Creeping wire vine (Muehlenbeckia axillaris) is a sprawling, evergreen plant characterized by wiry stems and round, glossy green leaves. The plant is commonly used as a ground cover and a stabilizing force for eroding hillsides and slopes. It grows to a height of between 2 to 4 inches, with a spread of about 30 inches. Creeping wire vine is low maintenance, requiring minimal care once established in the right location.

Light

A sunny or partial shade location is what creeping wire vine prefers. It can cope in areas with no shade, but just expect much slower growth.

Soil

Creeping wire vine isn’t fussy when it comes to soil types. It copes well with dry, infertile soils and this is part of its appeal for use on rocky slopes where other plants struggle to thrive. It can help to minimize erosion in these types of areas. It doesn’t do well in standing water, and the main requirement is that the soil is well-drained.

Water

During the first growing season, creeping wire vine should be kept consistently moist. This will give the roots the best chance to establish. Once the plant is fully mature, although it prefers moist soil, it can cope with dry conditions.
