Notes: A white and pink mix of outstanding drought-resistant plants. Looks great in a mass in beds. Long lasting cut flower. Called spider flower for its long leg like decorative seedpods. Attract butterflies and hummingbirds because they are built to withdraw nectar from their long stamens that other insects can not. Beautiful backdrop to any garden. Deer resistant and worth planting en masse.
Instructions: Sow 2 mm deep indoors in early Spring to give them a good head start. Once all danger of frost has passed, Cleome transplants easily. Enjoys mulch and direct sun
