How to grow
How To Grow Cleome From Seed: Sow Spider Flower seeds indoors in late winter for transplanting outdoors after danger of frost. Or sow the flower seeds directly in the xeriscape garden after danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has warmed.
Do not cover the flower seeds but firmly press them into the soil. Keep the Cleome seeds moist until germination occurs and then water regularly to provide a great start for this prolific bloomer. Spider Flower plants are known to re-seed, dropping their flower seeds for next year's display.

Tolerant of extreme heat, Cleome plants are very uniformly sized and they flower generously. You can not find too many annuals that will add such color and vibrancy to the flower garden. The dark green foliage is narrow and stylish, too, making an attractive back drop for the big, fluffy blooms.
