Hairy greenweed is a low-growing, deciduous shrub characterized by its diminutive stature, reaching about 1.5 feet (45 cm) in height and spreading to 3 feet (90 cm) wide. This plant boasts a dense array of slender, twiggy stems. In the late spring to summer months, it becomes adorned with vibrant yellow, pea-like flowers. Its preference for well-drained, poor-quality soils and its resilience to drought are noteworthy. Additionally, hairy greenweed possesses the ability to fix nitrogen, which enriches the surrounding soil.
