It is a shrub with only a few branches, with very thick oblong to egg-shaped leaves and heads of shiny golden-coloured flowers in late spring.

The petals are shiny gold-coloured, 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long and erect, egg-shaped to almost round and dished with a smooth edge.

[1][3] The specific epithet (integra) is derived from the Latin word integer meaning "untouched" or "unhurt"[4] referring to the entire or smooth-edged petals.

[5][6] Verticordia integra is classified as "Priority Four" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[5] meaning that is rare or near threatened.

[7] This verticordia has been difficult to propagate and establish in the garden but when successful produces a bushier plant than wild specimens.
