The species has been given the common name of Painted featherflower and China cups. It is in found in a variety of forms, in diverse habitats, and is widespread throughout Southwest Australia. The habit of the shrub varies as low-growing to a taller form, 0.15 to 1.3 metres in height and width, the single main stem is no more than moderately branched. It does not possess a lignotuber, distinguishing it from the similar species Verticordia rennieana, although its habit of branching near ground level may give this appearance. The small flowers are arranged in corymbose or roundish groups. The petal, 4.5–8 millimetres long, is concave, upright or spreading, and may be shades of pink to purple. The sepal is finely divided, fringed in appearance, and usually paler in colour than the petal; both may be white in some forms. The flowering period is from the end of July until November, this extends into December in some areas. The leaves are between 4–12 mm long, narrow, pointed or hooked at the tip, and partly rounded in outline.The distribution range extends from coastal regions south of Kalbarri National Park, throughout the Avon Wheatbelt, and into arid regions west of Kalgoorlie. It is also found to the south of Fremantle on the Swan Coastal Plain. The diverse forms of Verticordia picta occupy a wide range of habitat, on hills or winter-wet areas, in a variety of soil types. It is frequently associated with other verticordias, in heath and shrublands, or in open eucalypt woodland.It was amongst the earliest species of Verticordia to be described, by Stephen Endlicher in 1838, using a collection that was gathered by John Septimus Roe at an unknown location. The author may have given it the epithet picta, from the Latin for painted, for the dapples that appear on the petals of dried specimens. The synonym Verticordia petandra results from Turczaninow's 1847 description of the same species.Cultivation of this species is uncommon, being sometimes difficult to propagate. Once established it will live for around ten years as a small shrub with a profuse display of flowers over a long season. It prefers the mediterranean climate of Western Australia, but it has been successfully grown in New South Wales."@en }
