It is a perennial shrub succulent that grows up to 8-10 cm in height and 12-15 cm in diameter. From its robust and woody stem, covered with a gray-brown bark, reddish-brown shoots grow, on the top of which lance-shaped succulent leaves develop, that are slightly concave and with a rounded tip. The brownish-green foliage is covered with short glandular hairs. In summer, when the plant begins to lose its leaves, beautiful tubular flowers of purple hues appear.
