New Zealand Ground Cover Plants
Muehlenbeckia axillaris (Creeping Wire Vine)
Muehlenbeckia axillaris, commonly known as Creeping Wire Vine, is a hardy New Zealand native groundcover with wiry stems and small, dark green leaves. It forms a dense, mat-like spread ideal for covering banks, rockeries, or underplanting. Thriving in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, it tolerates drought, wind, and coastal conditions once established. Its low-growing habit, adaptability, and resilience make it a popular, low-maintenance option for a wide range of garden settings.
Coprosma kirkii
Coprosma kirkii, commonly known as Creeping Coprosma, is a hardy NZ native groundcover shrub valued for its dense, trailing habit and small glossy green leaves. This evergreen plant spreads across the ground, suppressing weeds and providing year round greenery. Naturally tough, it thrives in exposed and coastal conditions, making it ideal for low maintenance gardens, banks, and rockeries. Creeping Coprosma is both practical and attractive in NZ landscapes.
