Pinkbell Fernbush

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 181 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many slender, crooked stems covered in hard, silky, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is pale brown.

The branches are short stubs with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of huge, V-shaped, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are yellow with black tips, tough and sticky.

In early summer it produces lots of medium-sized, pink flowers with sickle shaped petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like an ocean breeze.
