    Cyanella hyacinthoides flowers grow in single, erect racemes or branched panicles.

    The flowers are white or mauve, sometimes maybe blue. The upper buds at the top of the raceme in picture still have to open. They are asymmetrical and purple-striped with narrowly protruding tips.

    The fruit is a capsule comprising three locules (Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist).
