The loose, strongly branched inflorescence is zymous panicles . The upright flowers are on slender, 10 to 25 millimeter long peduncles . Your calyx tube is 1.7 to 2.2 millimeters long. The lanceolate, pointed, membranous, slightly spreading calyx lobes are 6 to 12 millimeters long and 3 to 5 millimeters wide. The corolla is pure white or yellow to pale pink in color.
