Waterleaf Bush

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 155 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous stocky, twisting stems covered in thick, knobbly, mahogany-coloured bark, and the wood inside is burgundy-brown.

The branches trail down to the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of huge, broad, flat, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are either amber or brilliant green, with hazel edges, rigid and crispy.

It produces lots of medium-sized, caramel flowers with crescent-shaped shaped petals. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like cotton. In mid-summer it forms smallcrimson, winged seeds that float and land far away.
