Dorycnium hirsutum
Canary Clover

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dorycnium hirsutum, commonly known as Canary Clover, is a shrubby perennial admired for its soft, silvery-gray foliage and clusters of small white or pale pink flowers. Blooming from late spring through summer, the delicate blooms form tight clusters atop woolly stems, creating a subtle yet charming display. The silvery foliage adds year-round interest, contrasting beautifully with other plants in mixed borders or Mediterranean-style gardens.

Native to the Mediterranean region, particularly southern Europe, Dorycnium hirsutum thrives in dry, rocky environments, making it well-suited for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens. Its combination of drought tolerance and ornamental appeal has made it a favorite among gardeners seeking plants that can withstand challenging conditions while adding texture and soft color to the landscape.
