Pōhuehue (Ipomoea pes-carpe) is a vine that grows in dry, beachy areas. This vine does well filling in lots of space quickly, making it ideal for groundcover and erosion control. Because of its growth speed, it may require some maintenance if you want to contain it to certain areas of your property. Pōhuehue needs to be in a spot with good water drainage and to get as much sun as it can. They are tolerant to heat, salt-spray, wind, and drought. Pōhuehue creates pink-white flowers that bloom all year round.

Pōhuehue is considered a weed by some due to its fast growth, but in the right conditions and care it can be a great groundcover plant, especially in areas with poor growing conditions. Its vine-like stems have been used to make cordage for fishing and to make lei.
