Black

This enormous shrub grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for around 29 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, straight stems covered in thick, silky, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is white.

The branches trail down to the ground that and are covered with small amounts of giant, finger-like, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in aquamarine, blood red and bronze varieties, hardy and crispy.

In early spring it produces several giant, grey flowers with needle-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a soft scent that smells like new carpet.
