Cantua buxifolia is an evergreen shrub growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8.2 ft) wide with small leaves and clusters of brilliant pink, narrow tubular flowers in early spring.

Qantu holds cultural significance in the Inca tradition as a connection between music and flowers. It is associated with Andean shamanism.
