The species has pink flowers and a deep taproot that makes it difficult to grow commercially. It is a perennial dicot and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. The leaves are densely covered with silver hairs.[2]
It grows in parts of Florida and the Southeastern United States[3] in well drained sandy habitats.[4]
