Crimson Leaf Bush

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 77 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, slanted stems covered in fine, waxy, white with black speckled bark, and the wood inside is pale brown-grey.

The branches are long and thick with dozens of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of small, finger-like, leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are either red, or orange with brown dots, flimsy and waxy.

In mid-spring it produces a thick sheet of medium-sized, grey flowers with long, tapering petals. They fall easily and have the faintest scent that smells like rich perfume.
