C. SANGUINEA is a shrub measuring from 1 to 5 M. Houppier that can measure up to 4 M wide. He owes his name to the blood red tint of his leaves at the end of the summer^{[réf. nécessaire]}. The young branches exposed to sunlight also take on a brilliant red color. The bark is greenish brown to greenish gray on the side in the shade, red striated with gray on the side exposed to the sun.
