This wildflower is endemic to the mountain foothills of California, where it grows in scrub and woodland. It produces tall, erect, naked stems topped with spherical inflorescences holding up to 30 densely packed pink flowers.

Its purplish or reddish stems may twine tightly around each other, and occasionally around other plants.
