Common Mouse-ear is a widespread plant, with soft hairy leaves and five notched white petals.
It is very variable in form: it is usually prostrate (only a few inches high), but can grow up to 40cm tall in long grass, and the leaves can be different shades of green or grey-green.
Mouse-ears are similar to chickweeds except that the mouse-ear petals are generally longer than the sepals, the flower has five stigmas (instead of three), and the sepals have a silvery border.
