The loose spreading shrub typically grows to a height of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft). It blooms between October and November producing white-pink flowers.

It is found along the south coast in wet swampy depressions and road verges in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-loamy-clay soils over laterite or granite.[1]
