The flowers are about 8.5 mm (0.33 in) long, each flower on a downcurved peduncle 2–6 mm (0.079–0.236 in) long with many bracts and bracteoles almost as long as the sepals. The sepals are white, about 6.5 mm (0.26 in) long and the petals purplish to reddish-pink. The upper half of the ovary is glabrous, the stamens attached near the base of the petal tube. Flowering occurs from September to December.
