Long time no mod! This is a fully 3D replacer for the vanilla creep cluster plant, including the ash creep cluster from the Dragonborn DLC. It also includes (very) minor smoothing and a UV tweak to the ingredient models. This is not as conservative a mod as the rest of my Not Too High series (Salmon Roe not withstanding); mainly due to the inherent increase going from 2D to 3D. The flora models are roughly 6x the number of tris. There are some noticeable UV seams up close, but I've tried to minimize their appearance where possible.
Like the Not Too High Poly Tomatoes, this is a mostly new model, and doesn't rely on the vanilla textures. It instead uses a re-mapped version of Waqas131294's Vanilla Remastered (Optimized) Texture, to preserve the original look with a resolution that doesn't look egregious on a higher-poly model. (I did try to map this to the vanilla one; it did not go well). Check the whole mod out; it's a fantastic upscale and enhancement of vanilla textures that brings the Skyrim artistic direction up to 2025 graphical standards (or as close to those standards we can get in a game produced in 2011, at least).

(No, the 01 and 02 nif stats aren't swapped. For some reason I could decimate the 02 mesh more before there was a noticable loss in quality than the 01 mesh.)

Q: Are the Hearthfire models difficult to harvest?
A: Yes. Install this mod after Creep Cluster Collision Fixes to alleviate the issue (mostly).
Q: Is that a plantable ash creep cluster?
A: Yes. This mod ships with a BYOH model that works out-of-the-box with More Plants and Recipes SE. Hearthfire Extended will also give you plantable ash creepers, but the ESP unfortunately just references the flora01 model, instead of adding a dedicated BYOH one, so it is MUCH larger than the mainland creep cluster plantable.
Q: Other mods in screenshots?
A: Cathedral Everything, Freak's Flora Fields and Solstheim, and of course Vanilla Remastered (Optimized) - Textures Upscaled and Reworked. All images taken with Community Shaders.
