Aaron's rod exhibits striking vertical growth, reaching up to 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) tall. Its foliage forms clumps from which emerge tall spikes adorned with bright yellow pea-like flowers. The blooms are arranged densely along the spike and create a vivid display in the spring. The compound leaves are alternate, with leaflets that are softly hairy, giving them a velvety texture. Post-blooming, if cut back, the plant has the potential to flower once more during the fall season.
