Lindheimer's muhly is distinguished by its clump-forming habit with dense tufts of blue-gray foliage approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. In autumn and winter, upright flower inflorescences reach 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters) high, displaying initial purple tones that mature to gray. Its fine leaves contribute to a fountain-like appearance, and its lacy panicles add a delicate texture to its form.
