The flowers of ''P. communis'' are borne singly or in clusters of up to three flowers on stalks that are typically long, but can be long.〔〔 The flowers are generally blue, but occasionally white or purple; the standard (the large upper petal) is long, notched at the tip, and narrowed at the base.〔〔 The wings (lateral petals) are around long, and the keel is long and wide.〔
