Copper Creeper

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

This massive creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 891 feet (271.6 meters) and growing as high as 748 feet (228.0 meters).

It takes 23 years for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 1.9 feet (58 cm) and are smooth and waxy.

The wide, rough leaves reach up to 1.3 feet (41 cm) in length. They are peach and washed-out blue, and have rounded edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thick bunches of giant copper flowers, and during the mid-summer, after flowering, it produces lots of small seed pods.

It coexists peacefully with other plants.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It can survive a very long time without water.
