Copper Creeper

This large creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 159 feet (48.5 meters) and growing as high as 64 feet (19.5 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 5 years for the copper stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 8 inches (20 cm) and are flat and wavy.

The needle-like, clammy leaves reach up to 1.8 feet (53 cm) in length. They are dark grey and aquamarine, and have jagged edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces a thick sheet of average azure flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces lots of small seed pods.
