Growing in shrubs up to three feet tall, Lead Plant is topped by spike-like masses of tiny purple blossoms. Each flower has a single 1/4"-long petal curling around 10 orange-tipped stamens. The plant's tough roots made pioneer plowing difficult, causing early settlers to dub it "Devil's Shoestrings." Its many gray-green leaflets are covered with soft hairs, giving the plant a leaden hue and its common name. It was once considered an indicator of sub-surface lead ore.
