Grey-leaved euryops is a perennial, evergreen shrub reaching 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 meters) in height with a similar width, though often kept pruned to 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters). The plant's silvery-gray, slightly hairy foliage has deeply incised margins, forming feathery lobes 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) long and approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, arranged alternately along the stems. The stems themselves are generally bare within the plant's interior. Bright yellow composite flowers, each 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) across, bloom atop 4-6 inch (10-15 cm) long stalks, presenting a striking contrast against the foliage.
