Bluebell
Shrub type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 191 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.
It has numerous long and flexible, straight stems covered in wrinkled, brown-green speckled bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.
The branches are very long, thin and wispy with dozens of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of miniature, broad, flat, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of white that gradient shifts to red at the top, robust and smooth.
In mid-summer it produces copious amounts of large, blue flowers with 7 pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like grass cuttings.
