Green flowers are produced on short stems in summer, followed by attractive mahogany-red burr-like fruits in autumn as it grows to 15 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Acaena Blue Haze is commonly used as a ground cover, grown beside a walkway, included in a rock garden, planted amongst paving stones and boulders, grown in a container, or planted at the base of larger plants.
