Turquoise Blossom

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and lives for around 66 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several sturdy, twisting stems covered in thin, rough, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is yellow.

The branches trail down across the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of large, stiff, pointed, leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are cyan and white, strong and sticky.

It produces copious amounts of giant, turquoise flowers with pleated petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a soft scent that smells like leather. In early summer it forms smallcaramel, spiky-shelled seeds.
