Compact shrub about 1m by 1m with grey-green foliage; flower clusters 3-5 cm long, pale purple; late winter to late autumn.

Plant donated to Adelaide Botanic Garden in the 1950s by an avid Adelaide gardener. She obtained the seed from England and selected the form for its soft foliage and compact habit.
