- Develops small, elliptical dark green leaves which are from greyish-white to light green in colour and mossy on the underside; in mild winters some leaves may remain green on the bush.
- Blooms on annual stems.
- Displays cone-like inflorescences which are pink in hue and become even 40cm long; its flowers produce strong scent, they are melliferous and attract butterflies and other insects.

- Removal of withered inflorescences stimulates the plant to develop new flower buds which considerably prolongs its blooming period (even till late autumn).
