Embervine

This average-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for around 23 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has several flexible, straight stems covered in delicate, smooth, yellow-brown bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches are short stubs with thousands of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of huge, oblong, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of emerald that gradient shifts to magenta at the top, light and crispy.

It produces hundreds of large, caramel flowers with long, tapering petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have an overpowering scent that smells like ashes. In midwinter it forms giantbright orange seed pods.
