Leaves are numerous and large relative to other species of Erigeron, with lower leaves, especially basal leaves, coarsely toothed or cleft, a characteristic readily distinguishing this species from most other Erigeron.

The flower heads are white with yellow centers, with the white rays sometimes tending to a pale lavender, borne spring through fall. Ray florets number 40-100.
