Turquoisebell

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 65 years. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, straight stems covered in thin, waxy, light gray bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches are long and slender that and are covered with sparse amounts of giant, stiff, pointed, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are sky blue on the edges and turquoise at the center, rigid and soft.

It produces many clusters of small, slate flowers with asymmetrical petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have an overpowering scent that smells like meat. In early autumn it forms medium-sizedlight brown berries.
