Perennials, 1.5–25 cm (becoming colonial); taprooted or fibrous-rooted, stoloniform branches persistent (1–3.5 cm), lignescent, bearing leaf tufts at tips, usually not retaining old leaf bases. Stems erect to ascending or decumbent, glabrous proximally, strigose on distal 1/2, minutely glandular near heads. Leaves basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to oblanceolate-spatulate, 50–760 × 1–11 mm, margins usually pinnately 3–5-lobed (sinuses reaching nearly to midveins), sometimes entire to dentate and mixed with lobed, faces glabrous or sparsely strigose, eglandular; cauline blades linear, gradually reduced distally, margins entire. Heads 1–4. Involucres 2–4.5 × 3.5–7 mm. Phyllaries in 3–5 series, moderately hirsute to hirtellous, minutely glandular. Ray florets 22–38(–46); corollas white, drying pink to lavender or blue, often with abaxial lilac midstripe, 4–7 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. Disc corollas 1.6–2.8 mm (throats slightly indurate and inflated). Cypselae 1–1.5 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 7–15(–19) (persistent) bristles.
