A perennial that grows up to 60cm tall. The flowers are 5-8mm across and the stem is hairy. Yellow star-like flowers bloom in spikes from June to August. Burred seed heads develop which hook on to animals or humans to disperse the seeds. The plant is high in tannin and produces a yellow dye that can be used to stain textiles. Also known as 'Lemonade' or 'Bunch-flower'.
