The foliage is comprised of three-lobed leaves of medium green color, contrasting with the prominent glossy petals. It possesses a unique, hairy or fibrous texture and appears somewhat glossy. The robust root system consists of dense, fibrous roots supporting the plant. Hairy buttercup typically displays a verdant growth during the cooler months, lying dormant during hotter periods until revived by the return of cooler temperatures.
