A perennial herb, D. grossheimii produces flowers with pink or purple petals that are dentate on the outer edges.[4] These flowers are produced either singly or in a compact corymbiform inflorescence, with a calyx that's about 15-17mm long and a short pedicel.[5] The calyx features 8 epicalyx scales.[5] This plant may reach 20–30 cm across, and produces linear-lanceolate leaves (typically 3–3.5 cm long), a taproot, and pubescent stems.[5][6]
