Muehlenbeckia axillaris ~ Creeping Wire Vine multicolored-leaf The Yoshino Flower CherryCreeping Wire Vine is an unusual creeping semi evergreen vine with wiry dark stems and small glossy bright green leaves that form a mat if not given support to climb. The insignificant flowers are followed by tiny attractive translucent white berries in late summer. Prefers part sun and moist well drained soils. Its small size makes it an excellent container filler. Type: Perennial, Vine Height: 0. 5 Spread: 1. 5 2. 5 Spacing: 2 USDA Hardiness Zone: 8
