Bronzeleaf

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 28 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of branched, wonky stems covered in fine, cracked, light brown bark, and the wood inside is burgundy.

The branches trail down to the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of miniature, very thick, leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are found in sky blue, green and bronze varieties, light and leathery.

In mid-spring it produces many clusters of small, red flowers with needle-like petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like petrol.
