Eremophila granitica is an erect, open or straggling shrub which grows to a height of between 0.5 and 2.5 m (2 and 8 ft) with sticky, wrinkled, shiny branches.

There are 5 lance-shaped, sticky, shiny green to purple sepals, differing in size from each other, mostly 10–15.5 mm (0.4–0.6 in) long but often enlarging after flowering.

Flowering occurs from March to November and is followed by fruits which are dry, woody, oval-shaped with a pointed end, hairy and about 7 mm (0.3 in) long.

[3][2] The species was first formally described in 1899 by Spencer Le Marchant Moore and the description was published in Journal of the Linnean Society, Botany.

It can grow in full sun or partial shade, is both drought and frost tolerant and responds well to even harsh pruning when provided with water.
