Selago villicaulis flowers grow sessile or on short stalks in a dense, thyrse-like cluster at a stem-tip. There are bracts below the cup-shaped calyx that usually has five lobes, although sometimes only three lobes are seen from some growing into one another.
The four stamens occur in two pairs of slightly unequal length.
Flowering happens from around mid-autumn to early winter with a secondary flowering in summer, as well as the possibility of a few flowers in spring (Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; http://pza.sanbi.org).
