Copperbell

Shrub type: Coniferous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This colossal shrub grows up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) tall and lives for around 39 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many long and flexible, straight stems covered in waxy, dark gray bark, and the wood inside is burgundy-brown.

The branches are short, thin and wispy that and are covered with small amounts of miniature, sickle shaped, leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are found in turquoise and lime varieties, resilient and rough.

It produces many balls of large, copper flowers with 6 pointed petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like bonfire smoke. In late spring it forms medium-sizedhazel, shelled seeds.

It is very rare outside of a particular area.
It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
