Cleome Seeds - Spider Flower

$3.25

Cleome hassleriana

Also known as the Spider Flower, cleome plants are topped with interesting clusters of 4-8 in. wide, spindly flower heads that are LOVED by hummingbirds! Plants are deer resistant, and will tolerate heat and drought. For best pollinator impact, plant in large clusters. Bloom begins in early summer, continues until frost.

Direct seed or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Cleome will need full sun and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, cleome will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for flowers. Annual.
