100 Seeds Cleome Spinosa White Queen Spider Flower Annual Fragrant Pollinator

Cleome spinosa, commonly known as Spider Flower, is a striking annual that produces tall, airy clusters of white blooms from summer to early fall. The 'White Queen' variety features elegant, spider-like flowers with long stamens, adding texture and vertical interest to garden beds and borders. Its delicate appearance belies its tough, drought-tolerant nature, making it a favorite among both beginner and seasoned gardeners.

Plant these seeds in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Cleome is excellent for cutting gardens, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, as it attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. The plants grow 3-4 feet tall and are self-supporting, though they may benefit from staking in windy areas. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming, and plants may self-sow for the following season.
