Produces low clumps of fresh green leaves as finely cut as chervil but with more substance. A forest of wiry flower stems arise 30 cm, carrying tiny astilbe-like heads of small creamy-white flowers in June. By September they are still attractive, with barren heads tinted light chestnut, while seed-bearing heads are dark, shining brown, and foliage develops pink and reddish autumn tints.
