Hairy Canary Clover is grown for its touchable foliage: small leaves covered in soft silver hairs, forming a rounded, bushy mound. From summer into fall it adds clusters of white pea flowers blushed with pink, followed by reddish-brown seed pods.

Give it full sun and sharp drainage, whether that means a gravel bed, a rock garden, a dry slope or the edge of a path, and it asks for very little water once settled. Bees work the flowers, and deer tend to leave it alone. Pair it with lavender, rosemary and other Mediterranean sun-lovers that want the same lean, dry conditions.

Fun fact: Botanists now file it under Lotus hirsutus, which makes it a cousin of bird's-foot trefoil rather than a true clover.

Shipped in a 4-inch pot, it arrives healthy or we replace it free.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
