Furrowed wakerobin is a perennial herb with a distinguishing three-petaled flower, often in varying shades of maroon or reddish-brown. The flowers, approximately 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in diameter, are set atop a singular stem that can reach heights up to 16-20 inches (40-50 cm). Each stem supports a whorl of three broad, ovate leaves, which sometimes have a slightly mottled appearance. These leaves envelop the stem, giving furrowed wakerobin a distinctive, symmetrical look that makes it conspicuously identifiable when in bloom during spring.
