It is a tall perennial, reaching heights of 2 meters. It produces an umbel of flowers in late spring and early summer.[4]
A recent[when?] publication has suggested that populations in the Fall Line Sandhills area of the Southeast have a number of unusual morphological features and may be worthy of taxonomic recognition. At the present, no varieties or subspecies of Angelica venenosa are recognized.[5]
