Copperbell

This average-sized shrub grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall and lives for around 38 years. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous sturdy, straight stems covered in ridged, copper-coloured bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches are short, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with sparse amounts of miniature, stiff, pointed, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are lilac and turquoise, durable and leathery.

In late summer it produces bunches of medium-sized, olive flowers with slender, pointed petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a weak scent that smells like a damp log.
