Purplevine

This average-sized shrub grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and lives for around 42 years. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous thick, curved stems covered in rough, light brown bark, and the wood inside is white with black speckles.

The branches are short and thin with dozens of twigs that and are covered with thick bunches of small, circular, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either hazel or purple, with cream dots, robust and crispy.

It produces a thick sheet of medium-sized, beige flowers with 2 pointed petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like rotten meat. In late summer it forms medium-sizedlight grey seed pods.
