Cleome Seeds

Cleome, often called spider flower, is a bold, dramatic annual that adds height, movement, and a touch of whimsy to any garden bed. Its tall stems—reaching 90–150 cm (3–5 ft)—are topped with airy clusters of pink, purple, or white blooms, each with long, delicate stamens that give the flowers their “spidery” look. Flowering from early summer right through to frost, Cleome creates a stunning backdrop in borders and looks especially striking in cottage-style or pollinator gardens. Bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds can’t resist it, bringing constant life and activity to your yard. Despite its exotic appearance, Cleome is surprisingly easy to grow; it thrives in full sun, tolerates heat and dry spells once established, and isn’t particularly fussy about soil. Its open, architectural form also allows it to mingle beautifully with other annuals and perennials without overwhelming them. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance flower that delivers serious height, long-lasting colour, and pollinator appeal, Cleome is a standout choice.
