Sunset Creeper

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 27 feet (8.2 meters)0.

It takes 7 months for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are smooth and waxy.

The sickle shaped, sticky leaves reach up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They are silver at the bottom and subtle red with slate splotches at the top, and have jagged edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces several average slate flowers.
