Purple Spinevine

This small creeper is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 6 feet (1.8 meters) and growing as high as 136 feet (41.5 meters).

It takes 11 months for the pink-red stems to mature, by which point they can have a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are tough and woody.

The very narrow and elongated, fuzzy leaves reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. They are generally purple, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many colossal indigo flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces a few small seed pods.
