Cleome, or spider plant, requires very little care making it perfect for back borders or areas difficult to maintain. Long blooming, for new buds continue to form and open from the center as old petals fall. Deer resistant and pollinator friendly, it makes a good cut flower too—just beware the small thorns on the stems. Self sows.

Water Use: Low Water Use

Watering Details: Water regularly until established, then only during dry spells.

Soil pH: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral.

Fertilizer: Mix in a couple of inches of compost prior to planting.

Diseases & Pests: If aphids appear, hose plants down several times a week or spray with an insecticidal soap. Prevent mildew and rust by setting in a location with good air circulation and proper spacing.

When to Cut For Bouquets: 1/2 opened florets; beware of spines on stems.
