Crimson Creeper

This average-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 34 feet (10.4 meters) and growing as high as 736 feet (224.3 meters).

It takes 5 years for the gray stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) and are smooth and slick.

The 9 pointed, leathery leaves reach up to 1.5 feet (46 cm) in length. They are light red and vivid orange, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces hundreds of average indigo flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces lots of very large seed pods.
