Indigo Vine

This big vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 459 feet (139.9 meters) and growing as high as 48 feet (14.6 meters).

It takes 3 years for the yellow-green stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 1.1 feet (33 cm) and are smooth and fuzzy.

The very narrow and elongated, waxy leaves reach up to 11 inches (28 cm) in length. They are either grey or indigo, with red zig-zags, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces thousands of average gold flowers.
