The pedicle is long and slender covered in fine hairs and the nodding flowers are arranged in an open corymb that is held above the foliage from late spring to early summer.

Fruit: The reddish-brown achene has a persistent style and the small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
