Magenta Creeper

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

This small creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 12 feet (3.7 meters) and growing as high as 49 feet (14.9 meters).

It takes 5 months for the gray stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are tough and woody.

The long, narrow, waxy leaves reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length. They are magenta on the edges and amber at the center, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many clusters of giant amber flowers.

It is possible to grow it from cuttings.
All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
