Violet

This big shrub grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for around 21 years. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several thick, angular stems covered in knobbly, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches trail down across the ground that and are covered with sparse amounts of giant, very thin, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid violet or silver, with orange dots, flimsy and smooth.

It produces a handful of medium-sized, magenta flowers with fan-like petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a fairly strong scent that smells like rainy days. In late winter it forms tinyblood red seed pods.
