Crimson Vine

Climbing plant type: Vine (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This large vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 267 feet (81.4 meters) and growing as high as 84 feet (25.6 meters).

It takes 3 years for the green and crimson stems to mature, by which point they can have a diameter of 1.1 feet (33 cm) and are rough and prickly.

The perforated, rough leaves reach up to 2.9 feet (89 cm) in length. They are either orange or blue, with magenta zig-zags, and have irregular edges.

During late spring, the vine produces a thick sheet of average silver flowers, and during the early summer, after flowering, it produces a handful of tiny fruits.

It is almost impossible to grow indoors.
It is bio-luminescent.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
