Amberleaf

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 10 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several narrow, slanted stems covered in knobbly, yellow bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches are short stubs with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of huge, wispy, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are blue on the edges and white at the center, durable and sticky.

It produces dozens of medium-sized, amber flowers with fan-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have a faint scent that smells like pot-purri. In mid-autumn it forms tinycream, shelled seeds.
