Meadow zizia is a robust, herbaceous perennial typically reaching heights of 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm). This species boasts compound leaves culminating in large, heart-shaped leaflets that serve as its distinguishing feature. In the flowering season, meadow zizia dazzles with umbels of tiny yellow flowers, each bloom contributing to the conspicuously flattened flower clusters that rest atop slender, green stems. The foliage often forms dense clumps, evidencing meadow zizia's preference for communal growth, which can be indicative of its presence in a natural setting.
