The bushy non-lignotuberous shrub typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1.3 metres (1.0 to 4.3 ft). It blooms between August and December producing white-blue flowers.

It is found on coastal sand dunes, among granite outcrops, sand plains and along roadsides in the Wheatbelt, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy soils often containing gravel.[1]
