Purple Rotbloom

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 45 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has dozens of sturdy, twisting stems covered in rough, dark green bark, and the wood inside is silver.

The branches are very long and thin that and are covered with large amounts of huge, long, tapering, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are generally pale purple, strong and sticky.

In early summer it produces a thick sheet of large, white flowers with 4 pointed petals. They are hardy and have a fairly strong scent that smells like rotting meat.
