The flowers are individually at the tip of the short shoots. They are seated, the calyx is 2.5 to 3.4 mm long, of which the urn-shaped calyx tube takes 1.6 to 2.1 mm, the triangular calyx tips 0.9 to 1.3 mm. The crown is funnel-shaped and is 9 to 11.5 mm long. The corolla tube is strongly narrowed in the lower half. The anthers are very small with 0.5 to 0.7 mm and almost as long as they are wide. The counters are apart. The scar is semicircular and hardly incised.
The fruit is a small capsule that grows to about 3.5 mm. The seeds are 0.6 to 1 × 0.5 to 0.7 × 0.2 mm in size.
