The erect shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 2 metres (1 to 7 ft). It blooms between September and December producing white-pink-red flowers.[2] Often grown as an ornamental shrub it has scented evergreen foliage produces red buds and small white flowers. It can be grown as a light screen and used for cut flowers.[3] Found along the south coast with a scattered distribution in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia where it grows in sandy soils.[2] The species was originally described by the botanist George Bentham in 1867 Flora Australiensis.[4][5] In 1882, Ferdinand von Mueller changed the name to Darwinia axillaris in his Systematic Census of Australian Plants, but the name has not been accepted by other authorities.[6][7] References
