Lotus hirsutus, commonly known as Hairy Canary Clover, is a bushy, semi-evergreen sub-shrub with a neat, rounded habit. Its softly hairy grey-green leaves give the foliage a silvery appearance, while clusters of white flowers open from pink buds from summer into autumn.
Native to the Mediterranean, it grows best in full sun in a sheltered position with well-drained soil. A useful choice for coastal planting schemes, where its soft foliage provides a contrast to neighbouring plants.
