Violet Creeper

This small creeper is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 20 feet (6.1 meters) and growing as high as 465 feet (141.7 meters). It prefers to grow on man-made objects.

It takes 6 months for the orange stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are smooth and woody.

The long, narrow, clammy leaves reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. They are either purple or silver, with white dots, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thousands of giant violet flowers, and during the early autumn, after flowering, it produces plenty of tiny seed pods.
