Muehlenbeckia complexa – Giant Leaf, 10-Gauge Wire Vine

Muehlenbeckia complexa – Giant Leaf / 10-Gauge Wire Vine.

This vigorous variety is known for its thicker, sturdier “wire-like” stems and noticeably larger leaves, which can grow up to 1 inch across. Its dense, trailing-to-climbing growth habit makes it an eye-catching choice for containers, hanging baskets, trellises, and indoor supports.

Unlike the finer-textured standard wire vine, this variety has a more dramatic look, with chunky stems and lush foliage that quickly fill space and create a full, sculptural effect. As an aggressive climber, it’s perfect for training along hoops, ladders, or wire forms where it can show off its natural twining growth.

Whether styled as a climbing accent or allowed to cascade, Giant Leaf Wire Vine adds movement, texture, and a modern botanical feel to any indoor space or sheltered outdoor area.
