Clinging Emberbrush

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for around 33 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous stocky, crooked stems covered in fine, silky, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches trail down across the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of miniature, finger-like, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are emerald with black tips, rigid and smooth.

In late summer it produces balls of small, peach flowers with spear shaped petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have an intense scent that smells like rich perfume.
