There are only a few flowers in the upper leaf axils on relatively long stalks and the sepals are deep pink with fine, white fringes.

Verticordia albida is a slender, erect shrub with a single main stem and which grows to a height of between 20 and 45 cm (8 and 20 in).

[4][5] The specific epithet (apecta) is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἄπεκτος (ápektos) meaning "uncombed",[6] referring to the untidy appearance of the flowers of this species.

[1] George placed this species in subgenus Verticordia, section Catocalypta along with V. roei, V. inclusa, V. insignis, V. habrantha, V. lehmannii and V.

[5] This verticordia grows in sandy clay in low, open Eucalyptus wandoo woodland in a small area near Mount Barker in the Jarrah Forest biogeographic region.
