[2][3][4][5] The star-like flowers appear on the ends of the branches or in the axils of the leaves on a stalk 2–4 millimetres (0.08–0.2 in) long.

The five petals are egg-shaped, about 10 millimetres (0.4 in) and usually pink, sometimes white and a range of colours in the cultivars.

[4] Crowea exalata is widely cultivated and is usually available in Australian native plant nurseries.

It grows best in light soil, partly shaded from the sun and is an ideal rockery plant.

Propagation is easier from cuttings because seeds must be nicked and held under running water for several weeks before sowing.
