Pinkfern

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 10 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous flexible, crooked stems covered in thick, waxy, white with black speckled bark, and the wood inside is pale yellow.

The branches trail down to the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of miniature, thin, leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are pink on the sides and yellow at the center, frail and soft.

In late summer it produces clusters of medium-sized, light brown flowers with many layers of petals. They are sturdy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like apple.
