Slow Growing Climbing Plants
Muehlenbeckia complexa
Muehlenbeckia complexa, commonly known as Maidenhair Vine, Creeping Wire Vine, or Pohuehue, is a low growing groundcover plant or climbing vine. This NZ native forms a dense mat of wiry, brown stems carrying tiny, green leaves. It grows to 30 cm tall and 2 m wide as a groundcover, but will climb fences, etc, with its twining stems to much larger sizes. Muehlenbeckia complexa makes for an attractive ground cover and will tolerate a reasonable amount of foot traffic. Its climbing nature makes it great for growing on fences or trellises for topiary.

Metrosideros carminea
Metrosideros carminea, commonly known as the Crimson Rata Vine, is a sturdy climber that can grow up to 15 m tall if left untrimmed. If it has nothing to climb it will grow as a small shrub to about 2 m tall and 1 m wide. The lants carry dark green, leathery leaves and produce masses of bright red flowers from late winter through spring. Metrosideros carminea is commonly used as a standalone shrub or grown as a climber on a fence or the like.
