100 Seeds Cleome Spinosa Spider Flower White Pink Fragrant Heirloom Annual Easy Grow Cut Flower Pollinator Garden

Cleome spinosa, often called spider flower, is a fragrant heirloom annual that sets slender branching stems with airy clusters of white and pink blossoms above fern-like foliage. Its open, airy bloom structure gives garden beds a soft, cottage feel and invites close viewing as blooms rise over a long season.

This selection grows well in full sun and ordinary, well-drained soil, making a reliable backdrop for taller or bushy borders. Because it is easy and fast from seed, it works well as a summer statement in cutting gardens, mass plantings, or large containers, with blooms that hold well in arrangements.
