Ligularia sibirica is a robust herbaceous perennial that typically grows to about 100 cm tall. It features a dense clump of large, broadly ovate leaves that arise from sturdy rhizomes. In mid to late summer, it produces clusters of small, yellow fertile florets, encircled by slender, vivid yellow ray florets, all held aloft by bracts that may show a purplish-red hue.
