The oval to heart shaped leaves are pale green to greyish-green. Profuse violet or purple flowers occur in clusters on terminal globular heads on short lateral branches appearing from September to December.

Endemic to the south coast of southwest Western Australia.

Prefers a light to medium well-drained soil in an open sunny position, drought and frost resistant.

Seeds of many natives are dormant and require specific conditions or pre-treatment for germination.
Do not be too hasty to discard seed that does not germinate, natives will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination to occur. Containers put to one side will often surprise long after they were discarded.
