Muehlenbeckia axillaris, commonly known as Creeping Wire Vine or Pōhuehue, is a New Zealand native groundcover renowned for its wiry, red-brown stems and small, glossy green leaves. This low-growing, mat-forming shrub is ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, and erosion control, thriving in challenging conditions with minimal maintenance.

Pimelea mimosa is a mat forming, NZ native, ground covering plant. It has soft, blue-grey leaves which are held on stems that tend to climb over objects. The plant becomes adorned with tiny, white flowers during summer. This evergreen typically grows to 30 cm tall and 80 cm wide, and performs best when grown in full sun on a well-drained soil. Pimelea mimosa is commonly used as a groundcover, added to coastal plantings, included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or mass planted on a bank.
