Indigo Creeper

This massive creeper is a slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 1,033 feet (314.9 meters) and growing as high as 578 feet (176.2 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 18 years for the indigo stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 1.9 feet (58 cm) and are smooth and fuzzy.

The stiff, pointed, smooth leaves reach up to 2.8 feet (84 cm) in length. They are olive and cream, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces hundreds of average slate flowers.
