This annual can grow up to a metre tall and the stems are usually multi-branched. It has matt grey-green leaves that are oval to diamond shaped, with a powdery coating and pale underside. Spikes of small green-white flowers are produced from June to October.
It is easily uprooted and should be pulled out before the seeds mature and disperse.
