Flower: The small sessile cratiform flowers have 5-overlapping notched petals up to 6mm (¼in) long with a central grouping of 11 to 13 stamens. The flowers are arranged in short side branches and appear in summer.

Fruit: The tiny dehiscent follicle contains globular seeds. The small seeds are not commonly used and the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
