Coral creeper is an evergreen shrub notable for its small, rounded, and glossy green leaves. The plant can grow approximately 2 feet (60 cm) tall and spread 3 feet (90 cm) wide, with potential to climb up to 6 feet (180 cm) when supported. Its stems may root where they touch the ground, enabling it to cover vast areas. The prominent feature of coral creeper is its tubular pinkish-red flowers, each about 2 inches (5 cm) long and flaring to over 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, predominantly blooming from late summer to fall with sporadic flowering year-round. These characteristics make coral creeper distinct and recognizable.
