Crinkleroot is a perennial herb that showcases a pair of broad, toothed, basal leaves typically measuring up to 8 inches (20 cm) wide. In the spring, it produces white to pale pinkish flowers, each with four delicate petals, arranged in a sparse cluster atop a smooth flowering stalk that can reach heights of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm). Its distinct foliage remains attractive through autumn and winter, with leaves that appear deeply lobed and can be easily recognized by their almost heart-shaped outline with pointed tips.
