Violet Leaf Shrub

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 18 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several long and flexible, wonky stems covered in cracked, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.

The branches are short, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of giant, very narrow and elongated, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either light grey or cyan, with violet edges, delicate and crispy.

In early summer it produces thick bunches of tiny, lime flowers with 3 heart-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like baby powder.
