Silkwood

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 106 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has many long and flexible, straight stems covered in very thick, silky, light brown bark, and the wood inside is burgundy-brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground that and are covered with very large amounts of miniature, circular, leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are either lilac or cyan, with pink edges, tough and leathery.

It produces thousands of medium-sized, cyan flowers with wide petals. They detach easily and have a faint scent that smells like freshly washed clothes. In early winter it forms medium-sizedblack, shelled seeds.
