Magenta Creeper

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This large creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 126 feet (38.4 meters) and growing as high as 39 feet (11.9 meters).

It takes 5 years for the magenta or bronze stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 11 inches (28 cm) and are rough and fibrous.

The long, narrow, smooth leaves reach up to 1.9 feet (58 cm) in length. They are generally caramel, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thousands of average black flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces a few tiny fruits.

It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
