The crown is dense, conical to begin then becoming round with age. The leaves are heart shaped matt green in colour with a white tomentose under side. Strongly scented yellow pendulous flowers appear in July. Autumn leaf colour is yellow.

Due to its ability to tolerate urban pollution, the silver lime is a valuable tree for city planting and industrial areas.
