It is an evergreen perennial. The plant is an erect, slender, sparsely-branched perennial, soft-woody shrub to small tree, flowering throughout the year. The plant bears yellow flowers if given a long enough growing season. The 30-35 mm flower has a cylindrical corolla. Its leaves are attached to the stems by stalks and its leaves and stems are neither hairy nor sticky. The bloom time is spring and summer. All parts of the plants are highly poisonous and contain the toxic pyridine alkaloids nicotine and anabasine. It occasionally accumulates nicotine as a defence against herbivorous animals.
