Flowers from late spring to late summer. The golden yellow blooms are spiked and arranged in tiers or layers much like a snapdragon. They grow in whorls along the upper half of the stem and at the end of the stem. They are tubular, drooping flowers that form a cluster of around 20 blooms in short spikes. The flower has no fragrance.

Brown fruit capsules appear in late summer and fall. The capsules are less than 1 inch long in size.
