It is a low, many-branched, shrub with short, pointed leaves and small lilac-coloured or mauve flowers.

Flowering occurs from October to November and is followed by fruits which are dry, woody, oval-shaped with a pointed end and about 2–3 mm (0.08–0.1 in) long with a hairy covering.

[3] This eremophila is restricted to the Wongan Hills[3] in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region where it grows in rocky situations.

It is long-lived in gardens, some specimens are over 25 years old, and it has attractive lilac-coloured flowers among leaves which sometimes have a reddish-brown tinge.

Propagation is usually from cuttings and the shrub grows well in most soil types in a sunny or partly shaded position, is drought tolerant and very frost hardy.
