A perennial shrub. It has slender trailing stems. These re-grow each year from a woody rootstock. The young growth has rigid hairs which bend backwards. The leaves are narrow and sword shaped. They are 4-10 cm long by 1-2 cm wide. They are bright green on top and hairy underneath. The flowers are about 2 cm across. They are white or pale pink with a darker centre. They occur singly in the axils of leaves. The fruit is a capsule about 1 cm across which is round and hairy. The seeds are smooth.
