Mingimingi, Wiggy Wig, Shrubby Totoraro

Muehlenbeckia astonii, commonly known as the Wiggy Wig Bush or Shrubby Tororaro, is a distinctive New Zealand native shrub characterised by its tangled, wiry growth habit and small, deciduous leaves. Growing to 1.5–2 metres tall, it forms a dense, sculptural shape that is ideal for both modern and native gardens. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Muehlenbeckia astonii is a low-maintenance, eye-catching plant that also plays a vital role in native restoration efforts.
