The cultivar was first received by the Authority in June 1988. This cultivar forms a bushy shrub from 0.5 - 0.8m tall and up to 2m wide. Leaves are often pinnatisect, divided into three to five broadly elliptical lobes, and each leaf lobe ends with a strongly pungent tip. Leaves are obovate with margins that are slightly recurved. The undersurface of the leaf is covered with a dense tomentose indumentum.
Midveins are prominent and covered in hairs.
Petioles are from 3-5mm long. Branchlets are covered with spreading dense hairs. The flowers are borne in spring and summer on and form loose racemes up to 55mm long. The flowers are apricot pink. It is difficult to relate this cultivar directly to either of the two purported parent species.
