The plant is characterized by its tall, slender stalks that can grow 3–6 feet (1–2 meters) in height, with feathery, compound leaves and large clusters of small, white to cream-colored flowers that bloom in late summer. The root, which is the most commonly used part of the plant, has a dark, almost black appearance, and it has been utilized in herbal medicine for centuries.
