Eremophila conferta is a shrub which usually grows to 1–1.5 m (3–5 ft) high with many tangled, dark brown branches which are often hidden, especially near their ends, by the leaves.
The branches are covered with a layer of long, branched hairs.
The leaves are arranged alternately, densely crowded and are covered with soft grey hairs.
They are also elliptic to egg-shaped, mostly 12–25 mm (0.5–1 in) long, 6.5–13 mm (0.3–0.5 in) wide and have a distinct mid-vein on their lower surface.


The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on stalks 3–9 mm (0.1–0.4 in) long.
There are 5 narrow, lance-shaped sepals, 7–13.5 mm (0.3–0.5 in) long which have a felt-like texture due to a covering of long, soft hairs.
The petals are 18–28 mm (0.7–1 in) long and joined at their lower end to form a tube.
The petal tube is purple, blue or lilac-coloured and white inside, with faint purple spots and is mostly glabrous.
The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube.
Flowering occurs mostly from August to September and is followed by fruits which are oval-shaped, yellow-brown with a papery covering and are about 5.5–7.5 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long.
