Filaree are winter annual members of the geranium family.
Filaree has a shallow coarse tap root. The feather like compound densely-haired leaves form from a prostrate basal rosette. The leaves consist of 5 - 9 opposite leaflets which are deeply cut. The leaves of white stem filaree are broader and the leaflets are less deeply cut than red stem filaree. Stems are also hairy, grow low and spreading.
