Calytrix pulchella is a glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 60 cm (24 in). Its leaves are usually closely spaced, linear to very narrowly elliptic, 3–20 mm (0.12–0.79 in) long and 0.6–1 mm (0.024–0.039 in) wide on a petiole 0.5–1.5 mm (0.020–0.059 in) long with stipules up to 0.4 mm (0.016 in) long at the base. The flowers are borne on a narrowly funnel-shaped peduncle 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long with elliptic to egg-shaped lobes 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long. The floral tube is 7–12 mm (0.28–0.47 in) long and more or less spindle-shaped with ten ribs. The sepals are round to egg-shaped, 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long and 1.3–2.0 mm (0.051–0.079 in) wide with an awn up to 10 mm (0.39 in) long. The petals are pink to deep pink with a yellow base, lance-shaped to elliptic, 6.0–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long and 2.8–4.0 mm (0.11–0.16 in) wide, and there are about 25 to 40 stamens in several rows.
