Description




Our premium cleome seeds offer reliable germination rate and vigorous upright tall branching growth. Botanically named Cleome spinosa, commonly known as Spider Flower, it features dramatic loose flower clusters with long protruding stamens that resemble spider legs, available in pink, purple, white and lavender mixed tones. Palmate green leaves add a tropical textured look, forming a striking vertical backdrop in perennial garden combinations.
Cleome boasts excellent heat resistance and strong drought tolerance, thriving under full blazing sun throughout the hottest summer months. It blooms steadily from mid-summer until the first light frost of autumn. Widely used as the tall background layer of mixed flower borders, cottage garden natural-style planting, wildflower meadow mixes, roadside green belts and large-scale landscape mass bedding. It adapts well to ordinary loose well-drained garden soil and needs little fertilizer input. Routine care only includes occasional deep watering during extended dry spells and basic weed removal, plus natural self-seeding ability for yearly regeneration, making it a perfect low-effort choice for hot climate landscaping and novice gardening enthusiasts.

Planting Instructions

  1. Soil Preparation: Use loose, well-drained average loamy soil; overly rich fertile soil causes excessive leafy growth and weak lodging-prone stems.
  2. Sowing Method: Distribute seeds evenly on level soil surface, cover with a thin 0.3cm soil layer and gently press for good contact.
  3. Germination Condition: Keep topsoil slightly moist without waterlogging, stable temperature 20–26°C, seeds germinate within 7–14 days.
  4. Seedling Care: Thin crowded seedlings to reserve enough spacing for tall mature growth; full sunlight strengthens stalks to avoid wind toppling.
  5. Daily Maintenance: Water deeply only during prolonged drought; allow spent blooms to set seeds for self-sowing, stake taller clumps in windy locations.
