Azure Creeper

This short creeper is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 19 feet (5.8 meters) and growing as high as 144 feet (43.9 meters).

It takes 5 months for the silver stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are rough and prickly.

The very thick, soft leaves reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length. They are solid bright green or azure, with peach zig-zags, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many tiny deep blue flowers.
