Hairy canary clover is an evergreen subshrub that typically grows to 1-2 feet tall (30-60 cm) with a woody base. Its foliage is distinctive, featuring gray-white, fuzzy leaflets that are oval in shape and approximately 1 inch long (2.5 cm), arranged in groups of three. These are subtended by stipules of a similar shape. The plant produces clusters of white flowers with pinkish-red veins, each cluster spanning about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and blossoming in summer through fall. After flowering, it develops shiny, red-brown cylindrical seed pods. The foliage is quite dense, lending a soft texture to its appearance.
