Caramel Creeper

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

This large creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 99 feet (30.2 meters) and growing as high as 32 feet (9.8 meters).

It takes 20 months for the lime green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 10 inches (25 cm) and are soft and flexible.

The wide, leathery leaves reach up to 2.2 feet (66 cm) in length. They are found in beige, copper and caramel varieties, and have irregular edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces clusters of average pale purple flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces copious amounts of tiny fruits.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It actively smothers and kills off other plants.
It can flourish even in standing water.
