The flowers are purple and grouped in globular capitula, united in clusters. Eggs are ovoid and brown, with a beige capitula at one end. The greenish-yellow capitula are semi-spherical. The flower heads are compact racemes of composite floweres or capitula with white ligules. There are many capitula and generally flat-topped corymbs or panicles. The inflorescence consists of multiple fluffy, red or pinkish-white capitula in clusters. The capitula, or flower heads, are arranged in relatively flat-topped corymbiform arrays. The flowers are borne in paniculate flower heads (capitula). "Craspedia" are rosette-forming herbs with compound capitula borne on erect, unbranched scapes. The latter grow into capitula, which are capable of pollination just three days later. The capitula are less than 5 millimeters in diameter. Flowers in capitula, with yellow, ligulate florets. The fly "Tephritis formosa" is known to attack the capitula of this plant. The fly "Tephritis leontodontis" is known to attack the capitula of this plant. In "Jasione" they are strongly condensed and resemble asteraceous capitula.
