Azure Trumpetvine

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall and lives for around 44 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous long and flexible, slanted stems covered in thin, waxy, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches trail down across the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of giant, 3 pointed, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in deep orange and cyan varieties, delicate and crispy.

It produces several giant, azure flowers with asymmetrical petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like pot-purri. In early autumn it forms medium-sizedbrown, winged seeds that float and land far away.
