Copper Creeper

This small creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 17 feet (5.2 meters) and growing as high as 62 feet (18.9 meters). It prefers to grow on man-made objects.

It takes 2 months for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are thick and twisted.

The wide, smooth leaves reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length. They are either red or lilac, with copper dots, and have rounded edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces copious amounts of small cyan flowers.
