Indigo
Shrub type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This average-sized shrub grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 132 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.
It has several very thick, wonky stems covered in delicate, waxy, dark green bark, and the wood inside is black with white speckles.
The branches are short stubs with dozens of twigs that and are covered with thick bunches of large, 5 pointed, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are either indigo, or peach with violet streaks, sturdy and leathery.
In early summer it produces a thick sheet of medium-sized, blood red flowers with long, narrow petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a weak scent that smells like new carpet.
It has impressive regenerative properties.
