The blooming period is a month between March and April. Purple tube flowers with 3 petals whose tips are rounded and reflexed outside. 6 purple stamens and a pistil are sticked out of petals. A flower blooms for a day. Flowers bloom from the bottom side of the inflorescence at intervals of 1 - 2 days. Leaves turn red during the blooming period but the leaf bottoms around the inflorescence stay green.
