Big Leaf Creeping Wire Vine

Big Leaf Creeping Wire Vine is a trailing, foliage-focused Muehlenbeckia with dark wiry stems and green leaves. Proven Winners lists the exact Big Leaf selection at 4–6 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, with white spring and summer flowers and a spreading habit suited to containers and groundcover use. ## Garden use Use it to spill over a container edge, soften a rock wall, or cover a small open area where its fine stems can weave through neighboring plants. Proven Winners describes emerald-green foliage and a twining growth habit. Its listed mature width is much greater than its height, so give it horizontal room. ## Growing conditions Proven Winners rates the selection for USDA zones 8a–10b and part sun to sun. Use well-drained soil and water during establishment and dry spells. In colder regions it can be grown seasonally in containers and moved to protection, subject to local conditions. ## Maintenance Trim trailing stems to keep paths and neighboring plants clear, and remove dead growth as needed. Check container soil regularly during warm weather; water when the surface begins to dry while avoiding waterlogged roots.
