Each leaf is made up of leaflets with pointed teeth, and the herbage is hairy and glandular. The stem branches into inflorescence stalks covered in black hairlike glands. The flowers are one to two centimeters wide and lavender to purple with yellowish or white throats. The fruit is a capsule half a centimeter wide containing many seeds.
