Magenta Silverleaf

This big shrub grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 158 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has many long and flexible, wonky stems covered in thick, knobbly, brown-green speckled bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches trail down across the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of large, very thick, leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are silver on the sides and magenta at the center, light and crispy.

In late summer it produces handfuls of tiny, grey flowers with heart-shaped shaped petals. They are very delicate and have an overpowering scent that smells like freshly baked bread.
