Coppervine

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 36 feet (11.0 meters) and growing as high as 76 feet (23.2 meters).

It takes 3 years for the burgundy stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) and are tough and woody.

The long, narrow, soft leaves reach up to 9 inches (23 cm) in length. They are caramel on the edges and copper at the center, and have jagged edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces large amounts of small copper flowers.

It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if cut.
