Fireweed is a rank, slightly hairy plant, growing from 1 to 7 feet high. The thick, somewhat fleshy stem is virgate, sulcate, leafy to the top, branching above, the branches erect.
Fireweed is one of the most visible of montane wildflowers, often lining roads and filling in large fire-scarred areas in mid-to-late summer. It is commonly three feet tall and spreads into thick patches from underground roots.
