They appear on the current season's growth during summer and are arranged in a terminal cyme that has 4 to 12 blooms. The flower colour varies from orange to red and the yellowish calyx has triangular lobes.

Fruit: The capsules are long and dehiscent containing numerous flattened winged seeds that are dispersed by wind. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
