Blackbell

This average-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 134 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous sturdy, straight stems covered in fine, smooth, black bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches are very short and thin that and are covered with small bunches of huge, broad, flat, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of green that gradient shifts to light grey at the top, robust and crispy.

In late spring it produces copious amounts of large, bronze flowers with finger-like petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a powerful scent that smells like skunk spray.
