Dimorphotheca cuneata is a subshrub that, in its natural habitat, will grow to be 100 cm (40 inches) tall. Cultivated specimens may measure 150 cm (60 inches). Leaves are long and narrow, with a few large teeth on the edges, giving off a strong scent when crushed. Wild flower heads have white ray florets and yellow disc florets, but this can vary in garden cultivars.^[2]
