Azureleaf

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 28 years. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has dozens of wide, straight stems covered in smooth, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is pale brown.

The branches trail down across the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of miniature, sickle shaped, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid grey with beige edges, delicate and sticky.

In late spring it produces thick bunches of tiny, azure flowers with heart-shaped shaped petals. They fall easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like baby powder.
