The shrub has an erect and compact habit and typically grows to a height of 1.2 metres (4 ft). It blooms between May and February producing pink-red flowers.
It is found among areas of low scrub in the southern Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-clay soils that can contain gravel.[1]
