Oxlip is characterized by a basal rosette of soft, oblong to elliptic leaves. From this base, flower stems rise to a height of 6-12 inches (15-30 cm), each culminating in an umbel of delicate, bell-shaped flowers that boast a soft yellow hue. The petals are deeply notched, with a brighter yellow center. Flowering typically occurs in the spring, adding a subtle splash of color to shaded areas.
