Bronzevine

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This big shrub grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and lives for around 48 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several narrow, straight stems covered in thin, ridged, light brown bark, and the wood inside is gray.

The branches are short stubs that and are covered with very large amounts of tiny, long, narrow, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are either cream, or magenta with bronze splotches, delicate and soft.

In early spring it produces many tiny, bronze flowers with long, tapering petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have a soft scent that smells like glue.

It releases hallucinogenic smoke when burned.
It actively smothers and kills off other plants.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
