When to Seed Cleome

This annual flower should be transplanted or direct seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Cleome

This flower will need full sun and will prefer loose, well-draining soil, however, it is not super picky about its growing conditions. This flower grows three to six feet tall, so keep this in mind when choosing a location.

Growing Cleome

Sow seeds ½ inch deep and three inches apart. Once mature, thin to six to 12 inches apart. This is a pretty low-maintenance crop, but regularly deadheading will result in more flowers. This plant is most beneficial to pollinators when planted in clumps. 

Harvesting Cleome

Cleome can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many butterfly, moth, and hummingbird species it supports.
