Goldenbrush

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 42 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has several wide, straight stems covered in cracked, gray bark, and the wood inside is black with white speckles.

The branches trail down across the ground that and are covered with small bunches of miniature, slender, pointed, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in orange and gold varieties, hardy and leathery.

It produces bunches of small, washed-out red flowers with cylindrical shaped petals. They are very delicate and have a strong scent that smells like new carpet. In midwinter it forms medium-sizedcream seed pods.
