Waterwood Bush

This average-sized shrub grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 149 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many very thick, angular stems covered in hard, waxy, brown and grey bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches trail down across the ground that and are covered with thick bunches of miniature, finger-like, leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of gray that gradient shifts to azure at the top, rigid and crispy.

It produces copious amounts of medium-sized, beige flowers with stiff, pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a powerful scent that smells like soap. In early winter it forms largeorange, spiky-shelled seeds.
