Lilac Creeper

This small creeper is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 15 feet (4.6 meters) and growing as high as 135 feet (41.1 meters).

It takes 5 months for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are rough and prickly.

The finger-like, sticky leaves reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. They are either lilac, or slate with gold patches, and have irregular edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces a handful of tiny grey flowers, and during the early summer, after flowering, it produces plenty of small seed pods.
