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

This huge creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 860 feet (262.1 meters) and growing as high as 815 feet (248.4 meters).

It takes 12 years for the yellow-green stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 1.3 feet (41 cm) and are soft and flexible.

The broad, flat, smooth leaves reach up to 3.0 feet (91 cm) in length. They are sky blue and peach, and have tattered edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thick bunches of small green flowers.
