Inflorescences are 2–6 cm long and produce white flowers that bloom from April to June in the southern hemisphere.

Its habitat is recorded as being sandy soils in Melaleuca viridiflora woodlands, bases of sandstone escarpments, and gravelly yellow soil in flat, treeless areas.

In his recent revision of the subgenus Andersonia, Anthony Bean (A.R.Bean) noted that there is a large variation recorded in the specimens of this species and more work would need to be done to determine if there's more than one taxon involved with this species.

Ferdinand von Mueller had described a species under this name in 1859 and it is now applied as a synonym for S. tenerrimum, though Anthony Bean noted that this application is uncertain because the type specimen was unable to be located.
