Caramel Leaf

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for around 53 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many thick, angular stems covered in very thick, rough, yellow bark, and the wood inside is pale yellow.

The branches trail down across the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of tiny, fan-like, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are olive at the bottom and intense green with caramel lines at the top, light and leathery.

In mid-summer it produces a thick sheet of medium-sized, cyan flowers with 2 triangular shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like coffee.
