Beeblossom is a native, biennial wildflower in Wisconsin. It grows four to six feet tall. Its flower is white fading to pinkish in color. It has fan-like petals. The leaves are rough and oriented vertically. They grow in a north-south direction. They are about five inches long and 1-1/2 inches across when fully grown. The leaves usually alternate along the stems but sometimes occur in whorls where a new stem emerges from an old stem. The leaves are lanceolate or ovate in shape and have margins that are smooth or slightly dentate and are hairy above and below. It grows in woodlands, streambanks, disturbed areas, open fields, and roadsides. (July)
