It grows to 1.5 metre high and has long, narrow leaves which are between 4 and 9 cm in length and 0.5 to 3 cm wide. These have recurved edges and are rusty-tomentose on the undersides. The flowers, which appear between late winter and spring, have reddish-brown petals and a calyx which is white on the outside and pink on the inside. These are followed by a hairy seed capsule which is 4 to 8 mm in diameter.
