Muehlenbeckia complexa (A.Cunn) Meisn. |
Muehlenbeckia complexa, commonly known as Maidenhair Vine, is an ornamental plant in the Polygonaceae family, which is native from New Zealand.[1] It is quite vigorous and probably the best species for trimming and topiary. It is semi-deciduous, growing to 15 ft (4.5 m) or more up suitable supports, and produces swollen white berries with black seeds. This species can become quite weedy in suitable climates if not restrained.
It is naturalised in Western Australia.[2]
