This is an annual herb varying in size and form from erect to 60 centimeters tall to prostrate and spreading in a mat. The woolly leaves are rounded and petioled and are mostly located around the base of the plant, but sometimes appear higher on the stem.
The branches of the flowering stem bear many small clusters of white to bright pink or yellow flowers, each just a few millimeters long.
