It blooms in June. Inflorescences are brushes directed horizontally or upwards with slightly pubescent axes, up to 5 cm long, bearing five to ten bell—shaped flesh-colored flowers up to 12 mm long. The sepals are blunt, the petals are broadly oval. The flowers are slightly pubescent and glandular on the outside.
