Copper Flower

Flower type: Biennial (Stores water in its leaves)

This colossal flower grows up to 14.4 feet (4.4 meters) tall. Its gray stems grow in bunches of 7 and are wispy with a curved tip, and the miniature, copper leaves are finger-like with smooth edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Two tiny flowers sit at the end of each stem. The flowers are 69 cm (27.2 inches) wide, with petals that are generally gold; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is made up of many petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight sphere. They are sturdy.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like grass cuttings, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind and is ignored by most insect species.


It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
The petals are bland but very healthy
