Muehlenbeckia complexa ‘Golden Girl’ is a fast-growing, golden-leaved ground cover or a trailing plant that is both drought and wind resistant.
It is particularly admired for its resilience, its rapid growth, and its high adaptibility.
The slender stems are darker than the golden leaves, providing a beautiful contrast.
The stems will climb on any support provided or else root themselves in contact with the ground.
The leaves are initially yellow, then become green over time, creating an almost variegated effect.
The flowering is basically inconspicuous (occuring beginning of fall in most temperate climates).
GARDENING TIPS: Muehlenbeckia complexa ‘Golden Girl’
- This Golden Girl is ideal for decorating the base of trees, enlivening a rocky wall or bringing some light to a vegetated wall.
