Bluebrush

This average-sized shrub grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 167 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous thick, straight stems covered in very thick, knobbly, yellow-brown bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches trail down to the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of tiny, wispy, leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of gray-green that gradient shifts to blue at the top, delicate and clammy.

It produces lots of small, sky blue flowers with teardrop-shaped shaped petals. They are very delicate and have an overpowering scent that smells like bonfire smoke. In early winter it forms medium-sizedslate, shelled seeds.
