Bloodvine

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 160 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous thick, straight stems covered in waxy, dark gray bark, and the wood inside is pale yellow.

The branches trail down to the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with sparse amounts of small, fan-like, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are generally hazel, delicate and covered in fine hairs.

In late summer it produces lots of large, blood red flowers with 2 pointed petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a weak scent that smells like perfume.
