Bluevine

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 128 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of sturdy, straight stems covered in fine, rough, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is white.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with thousands of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of giant, slender, pointed, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are solid orange with sky blue edges, tough and rough.

In mid-summer it produces thousands of small, blue flowers with spear shaped petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a delicate scent that smells like pepper.
