Creeping cucumber

Supports pollinators, including bees and beetles.

Creeping Cucumber is a slender, climbing, scrambling perennial shrub or liana (a long, stemmed woody vine) in the cucumber family. It will climb with tendrils. It resembles the garden cucumber, with small yellow flowers, lobed leaves, and a similar growth pattern. Produces a green, mottled, elliptical-shaped berry that resembles tiny watermelons (1 inch long). When the berries are dark (black), they can have a laxative effect. (From North Carolina Extension)
