The meadow salsify is a biennial plant.
Stems of young specimens are clearly tomentosed, even woolly to the touch, in older ones completely bare. They are erect, sometimes only branching.
The leaves of the meadow salsify grow directly from the stems, without petioles. They are characterized by entire-margined arching blades hairy in young specimens, and bare in older specimens.
All flowers have a strong, honey yellow color and ray character. They are clustered in a head with a diameter of 30-65 mm, opening about 8 am to close about noon.

It can be carved very variable, from very thorny or warty to completely glabrous. The pappus grows pinnate, is light brown or dirty whitish.
