Latin Cleome hassleriana
This tropical looking flower is a great upright and stately addition to your garden. Growing between 3' and 5' tall, Spider Flower stands out as one the easiest and most effective ways to gain height to your flower garden. Once in bloom, the light pink flowers are a show stopper. Plant in clusters for the best possible show. These flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. As an added benefit we have found Cleome to be highly resistant to deer.
Growing Cleome from seed is very easy. It can be accomplished by directly sowing on the surface of your soil after last frost or you can start them indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Germination time takes between 10-14 days. Stratifying your seeds prior to planting is a highly beneficial practice for these seeds. Use bottom heat to help indoor germination. Plant Cleome in full sun or light shade and dead-head regularly for best results.
