The plant reaches a height of 20 inches. Both the pinnately compound leaves and the stem are covered with fine hairs. Since Miami Mist is a woodland species it is somewhat shade tolerant. Although it can be found in moist environments in flood plains, it seems to do best on well-drained areas on hillsides.
