Latin name :Cleome spinosa

Growing cleomes is most easily done by planting seeds in the chosen location. Most any location is appropriate as cleomes will grow and produce the cleome “spider” flower in full sun to part shade locations and do not need any particular type of soil, other than well draining.

Be aware as well that older cleome plant cultivars are sometimes difficult to transplant and may wither away, never to return if you try transplanting them.

Flowers of the cleome plant are intricate, large and showy.Once established, they are drought tolerant and hold up well during summer’s scorching heat.
