Twining Vines

This big creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 248 feet (75.6 meters) and growing as high as 33 feet (10.1 meters).

It takes 22 months for the red stems to mature, by which point they can have a diameter of 10 inches (25 cm) and are tough and woody.

The thick, sticky leaves reach up to 1.8 feet (53 cm) in length. They are either green or indigo, with cream zig-zags, and have tattered edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces a thick sheet of large light grey flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny seed pods.
