Cleome spinosa, commonly known as spider flower, is a showy heirloom annual that forms tall, open clusters of raspberry-colored blossoms. Each flower opens from the base of the stem upward, revealing long, delicate stamens that give it a spider-like appearance prized for its dramatic texture in sunny beds and cottage borders.

This fragrant, easy-care flower attracts a steady stream of bees, butterflies, and other beneficial garden visitors while offering months of color until the first frost. Whether used as a striking back-of-border accent or in cutting arrangements, it brings airy movement and vintage charm to any summer garden.
