Bog yellowcress is characterized by a basal rosette of deeply lobed leaves and an erect growth habit. As it matures, bog yellowcress develops branched flower stalks that reach up to about 28 inches (70 cm) in height. The flowers are small and yellow, leading to distinctive cylindrical fruit that is borne on short stalks approximately 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) long. The seeds contained within are small and tan, contributing to the plant's propagation. Bog yellowcress can form single stems or well-branched mounds, adaptable to various moist environments.
