Giant potato creeper is a robust, semi-evergreen vine reaching heights and spreads of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters). It boasts large, thick, ovate leaves which range from 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) in length and are outfitted with distinctive hooked thorns along the midrib on their undersides. The impressive panicles present a striking display of 1.5 to 2-inch-wide (3.8 to 5 centimeters) deep purple flowers, that gradually transition to lavender and then white as they age, blooming profusely in the warmer months.
