The leaves are opposite, simple, ovate or elliptical, sessile, densely tomentose, soft, very soft to the touch, with the nerves prominent on the underside, they are between 1.5 and 6.5 cm long and are light green or whitish. It flowers between the months of May and June, with purple pink flowers, 4 to 5 cm in diameter, arranged on umbeliform tops of 3 to 8 flowers. The fruits are brown capsules, 7 to 13 mm long, which, when opened at maturity, project the seeds they contain.

It is used both in landscape restoration, on very dry and poor slopes, and in low maintenance gardening for the ornamental value of its pink flowers and its whitish foliage.
