Climbing Hazelflower

This small vine is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 12 feet (3.7 meters) and growing as high as 25 feet (7.6 meters).

It takes 2 months for the silver stems to mature, by which point they can reach a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are smooth and waxy.

The finger-like, soft leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are found in olive, muted yellow and brilliant orange varieties, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the vine produces a thick sheet of large hazel flowers.
