Sunset Vine

This small creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 15 feet (4.6 meters) and growing as high as 114 feet (34.7 meters).

It takes 2 months for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are tough and woody.

The long, narrow, fuzzy leaves reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. They are yellow and purple, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces several average muted red flowers, and during the mid-summer, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny seed pods.
