Yellow colicroot exhibits a rosette of slender, grass-like leaves from its base. Each leaf reaches approximately 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) in length. In the growing season, yellow colicroot produces a single flowering stalk, which can reach up to 3 feet (91 cm). The stalk bears small, tubular, yellow flowers arranged tightly in an elongated spike at the top. These upright blooms are noticeable for their unique hue and clustered arrangement.
