The colouring is unique; white flowers with central yellow stamens. These are produced from the upper leaf in early and midsummer. Plant grows to roughly 2m tall (can be taller if it's against a wall) and 2m wide. It is well adapted to wildfire, reproducing by stump sprouts after burning. Natural seedlings are rare.
