Tiny white flowers, typically in three, globe-shaped clusters 4–5 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –2 in) wide, are produced on tall scapes that grow about the same height as the leaves, about 30–60 cm (12–24 in) high.

[6] In Texas, it has reached areas of up to 300,000 hectares (730,000 acres), but it is commonly seen as a pest there due to its rapid spread.
