Raphionacme procumbens, or simply as Raphionacme, is a plant native to South Africa that grows to unusual heights. It's a caudex growing vine, and its tuberous root system helps support its impressive form. The flowers of Raphionacme are green.

For gardeners living in USDA Zone 9-11, Raphionacme is a highly attractive and unique flowering plant. It will require full sun, as well as moderate water, to achieve its vigorous growth. Because it is a vine, Gardeners should be sure to give plenty of room to allow the caudex to spread its tendrils and achieve its full potential. It may also be planted in a large pot or container, so long as the pot is brought indoors in the winter months.

Raphionacme is a stunning addition to any garden, and a great choice for those looking to plant something unique that will thrive in their climate. With the right care and attention, it can bring beauty and color for many years to come.
