Growing Cleome (Spider Flower) – Easy Annual

Cleome (Spider Flower) Care

Pronunciation: klee-oh'me

Trouble-free in full sun and average garden soil. Tolerates drought. In the South, cut plants back by at least one-third in late July or early August to produce fresh stems and new flower heads. Plants self-sow abundantly; expect many seedlings next spring. Keep or relocate desired seedlings, weed out the rest. True annual—plants die after flowering.
