Copperbell

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 69 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of knobbly, curved stems covered in delicate, smooth, brown-green speckled bark, and the wood inside is burgundy.

The branches are very short and thin that and are covered with large amounts of miniature, very thick, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are yellow at the bottom and copper with peach lines at the top, delicate and sticky.

It produces copious amounts of medium-sized, silver flowers with pleated petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have a fairly strong scent that smells like honeysuckle. In midwinter it forms medium-sizedbold yellow, tough-shelled seeds.
