Hairy Canary Clover

Dorycnium

Dorycnium hirsutum 

With a name like Hairy Canary who would guess this decorative Mediterranean evergreen may be the answer to Australia’s dryland salinity problems? Supported by deep roots, the silky, soft-looking foliage develops into a dense and bushy drought tolerant subshrub, exhibiting a penchant for warm rocky sites. Low-to-the-ground, small silvery leaves and compact red-hued stems cushion its charming pealike flower display of pink-blushed white flower clusters, which brighten up the late summer garden, while reddish brown pods spark our interest well into fall.

Blooms July–September.

Size: 15"–18" high x 18"–2' wide; hardy to zone 8.
