Up to 30 cm tall with alternate wide lanced oval-shaped leaves with pointed tips and a rounded base, without leaf-stalks. The leaves are often finely toothed having fine hairs on the underside veins. Flowers appear as solitary individuals opposite each leaf in early summer and are bell-shaped on 1–3 cm long stalks bent midway, with 6 rose or white recurved petals with purple streaks. Fruit is an elongated red berry ripening in mid-summer . If berries are consumed in quantity, diarrhea can result.

''S. lanceolatus'' can be distinguished from Solomon's Seal and False Solomon's Seal by the alternate leaves on a zigzag stem.
