The listing, WOW!!! Fantastic Flowers - Cleome/Spider Flower - SEEDS! has ended.
This plant is not only beautiful....it's also fascinating! I got the seeds from a Listia member last winter. Teeny Tiny seeds. Lo and behold....you can see what happened. They grow to 6-7 feet high, as you can see. It's amazing that one tiny seed can grow into this!
.......................Description: Cleome flowers, with many opening at once, grow in airy racemes, or clusters of flowers, six to eight inches in diameter. Cleome flowers come in white, pink, or lavender. They perch atop stems that grow up to six feet high.
How to grow: Cleome grows well in average soil located in full or nearly full sun. It is very drought-tolerant, though it will look and grow better if it is watered well. Space spider flower plants one to three feet apart.
Propagation: Sow after the last frost when the ground is warm. Cleomes may also be started indoors four to six weeks earlier at a temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Germination time is 10 to 14 days. In the garden, it reseeds prolifically and should be thinned.
Uses: Plant cleome for its height, to back up borders, in the center of island beds, or in any spot where its dramatic quality stands out.........................
I will send the winner well over 100 seeds, since not all seeds will germinate.
