Nimblewill exhibits a fine texture with mat-forming growth habits, a characteristic that distinguishes it in the Poaceae family. Early in the season, nimblewill's slender stems stand erect, later transitioning into a more relaxed posture. Its narrow leaves, spanning out in multiple horizontal directions, are pivotal for its recognition. The leaves themselves grant nimblewill a unique aesthetic, which is easily identifiable among grasses of similar stature.
