Growing to 20 cm (7.9 in) tall and broad, it is an evergreen perennial with asymmetrical oval green leaves, slightly fleshy, strikingly marked with curved silver stripes, and red stems. Tiny green flower spikes appear in summer. The Latin specific epithet argyreia means "silvery".

It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It is non-toxic to animals according to ASPCA.
