The stems are well branched and woody at the base, the leaves are 5 lobed, always bicoloured, hairless above and densely hairy beneath and about 50mm large. The flowers are purple or magenta in colour and about 35-40mm large in diameter with hairy stalks and are borne in summer between October and March.
