Waterleaf

This colossal shrub grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for around 25 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many sturdy, slanted stems covered in wrinkled, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is pale yellow.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with thousands of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of tiny, perforated, leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of crimson or indigo that gradient shifts to lime at the top, sturdy and sticky.

It produces a thick sheet of medium-sized, brown flowers with fan-like petals. They fall easily and have a delicate scent that smells like pot-purri. In late spring it forms largered, shelled seeds.
