Muehlenbeckia astonii is a divaricating, deciduous shrub that can add interest to any garden and works well contrasted with bold foliage. The unique habit of growth and foliage makes for a great feature shrub or mass planted. It is extremely hardy and can be used as a low informal hedge or clipped to shape for a more formal hedge and sculptural topiary.

The twisting, tangled stems of this native Climber make for an interesting and useful plant that can be trained as a climber or used to scramble informally wherever you want quick cover and a plant of interest. Plant in morning sun in soil that does not completely dry out in summer. Semi-evergreen.
The flowers on the female form of Muehlenbeckia are inconspicuous but emit a pleasant fragrance. The flowers are followed by little white berries. This plant also responds well to clipping and is often used for informal topiary work.
