Airy and delicate in appearance, Scarlet Beeblossom grows to 1½ feet tall and wide with thin branches from the base. It can form large colonies in disturbed areas and is considered a noxious weed in California. Leaves are narrow and grow close to the branches. The flowers are about ½ inch across and grow in a long cluster, often nodding at the tip. Flowers have four spoon-shaped petals which are initially white, becoming pink then red as they mature and wither. Eight long white stamens are tipped with red anthers. It is not toxic or strongly medicinal. The Navajo made a cold infusion (tea) for children to settle their stomachs after vomiting. The Lakota rubbed it on their hands to catch horses, apparently horses were curious about the smell so let people get close.
