Bluebell

This huge shrub grows up to 13 feet (4.0 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 162 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has numerous branched, crooked stems covered in thin, ridged, gray bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches trail down to the ground that and are covered with handfuls of huge, wide, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid blue with caramel patches, tough and crispy.

In late summer it produces lots of large, pink flowers with 9 teardrop-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like new books.
