The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 2 metres (2 to 7 ft). It blooms between October and December producing white flowers.[2][1]

It is distributed along the south coast of the South West and Great Southern where it grows sandy soils over limestone, laterite or granite.[2]

Cultivated from seed, the plant is suitable for most soil types and is frost and drought tolerant. It is an ideal native hedging plant that responds well to pruning.[1]
