Planting Instructions
When to Plant Cleome
Cleome seeds are easy to start and low maintenance. They are an annual that is planted in the early spring to mid-summer. Cleomes, or Spider Plants, will bloom until the first frost. In a windy area, they may require staking; they are disease and insect free. Butterflies and hummingbirds love to feast on cleomes.
How to Plant Cleome
Cleome seeds may be started indoors or outdoors. They grow best in full sun; seeds will germinate in 8 to 12 days if temperatures are 70 to 80F.
Seeds should be planted 1/8th inch deep and left uncovered. Space 3 inches between seeds, and space 18 inches between rows. Thin to 18 to 24 inches apart when plants are 3 inches tall.
Cleome plants started indoors can be transplanted at 21 to 25 days.

Review
Dramatic Show from August to Frost
I got the seeds from Eden Brothers in 2017 and this my second year growing this Beautiful plant. This year I grew it successfully from the seeds I saved last year. Indeed the weather needs to be warm enough for the seeds to germinate. Afterwards, I did some thinning and give each plant at least 3 inch of space as they grow several branches. It doesn’t require many plants to have a dramatic show. They are bright, delicate and dramatic at the same time. This will be only annual plant I will grow every year going forward. Love it.
