CLEOME or SPIDER PLANT is easy to grow annual with large violate, red, pink and white blooms that go from early summer until late fall. They get about 3 or 4 feet tall and about 1 1/2 feet wide. If you've never seen these in bloom, you have a big treat in store. The blooms get about 4" across. The fireworks-shaped flowers create a sort of big pinkish-haze over the garden. They bloom from early summer until late fall -- very beautiful. These are very easy to grow from seed. Pretty much care-free after established. Very heat tolerant and also will do well in med/large containers. They love full sun, warm days and steady water.500+ Seeds per order. Thank You!
