This giant shrub grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for around 23 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many narrow, curved stems covered in rough, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches trail down across the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of giant, spear shaped, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are solid lilac with bright purple dots, frail and leathery.

It produces a thick sheet of giant, bright purple flowers with 2 flame-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like warm milk. In early autumn it forms medium-sizedblue aril (seeds with fleshy covers).
