Elephant Creeper | Silver Morning Glory | Elephant Climber

The Elephant Creeper, scientifically known as Argyreia nervosa, is a perennial climbing vine that is native to the Indian subcontinent. This plant is well-known for its large, heart-shaped leaves and striking, trumpet-shaped flowers that range in color from pale pink to lavender. The leaves have a velvety texture, often referred to as “woolly,” which contributes to one of its common names, the Woolly Morning Glory. The vine can grow quite vigorously, making it an excellent choice for covering trellises, arbors, and fences, adding both aesthetic appeal and privacy to gardens.

In addition to its ornamental value, the Elephant Creeper has significant cultural and medicinal importance. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, it is known as “Vidhara” and is used for its purported health benefits, including its use as a tonic and in the treatment of various ailments such as inflammation and skin diseases. The seeds of the plant contain psychoactive compounds and have been historically used for their hallucinogenic properties, particularly in Hawaiian shamanic practices, hence the name Hawaiian Baby Woodrose. However, caution is advised as the seeds can be toxic if not prepared properly. Overall, the Elephant Creeper is a multifaceted plant that combines beauty with a rich tapestry of traditional uses.
