Horseweed flowering stems form a pyramidal inflorescence covered with numerous flowers and what look like dandelion seedheads. Panicles of flowers up to 1.5' long 6" across arise from the tip of the main stem and from axillary stems that arise from the upper leaves. Individual flowers are small (~1/8" in diameter and 1/4" long), cylindrical or urn-shaped, and covered with multiple layers of phyllaries; they look more like buds than flowers with only the tips of the 25-45 white or pink, pistillate ray florets peeking out the end. The 12-25 disk florets are yellow; they bear both pistils and stamens.
