20 seeds per package

Cleome flower seeds produce airy blooms on a bushy plant. This compact Cleome Spider Flower plant is average height around 4’ tall that produces tons of beautiful blooms. This Cleome plant also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden which every gardener enjoys.

Cleome offers big, approximately 4 - 6" spidery blooms of warm rosy red color. The blooms are also great for cutting, and they provide long-lasting color to bring indoors. The dark green foliage is narrow and stylish, making an attractive back drop for the big, fluffy blooms.

Cleome begins flowering in early Summer when hot weather has arrived and doesn't quit until the temperature drops in Fall. A sun-lover, it is at home in the hot weather garden borders, beds, or patio areas, and once established is quite tolerant of dry conditions. It rapidly reaches approximately 36 – 42” tall and about 1.5’ wide, with a bushy fullness that adds weight to its presence as an accent, low hedge, poolside planting, or mid-border standout.

Keep seeds moist until germination occurs and then water regularly to provide a great start for this prolific bloomer. Spider Flower plants are known to re-seed, dropping their flower seeds for next year's display.
