Caramelzigzag

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 96 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many very thick, straight stems covered in waxy, brown-green bark, and the wood inside is pine-coloured.

The branches are long and thin with dozens of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of small, perforated, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are either gentle orange or lilac, with caramel zig-zags, rigid and fuzzy.

In early spring it produces many clusters of tiny, hazel flowers with perforated petals. They detach easily and have a faint scent that smells like chocolate.
