Copper-colored

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 34 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has numerous flexible, straight stems covered in thick, cracked, burgundy and brown bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches trail down to the ground that and are covered with handfuls of tiny, wispy, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are solid sky blue with brown splotches, durable and covered in fine hairs.

In late summer it produces dozens of tiny, subtle blue flowers with asymmetrical petals. They are sturdy and have an intense scent that smells like pine needles.
