Cleome or Spider Flower
Summer to Fall Frost: Spider flower gives a strong, long flower show from summer heat to hard frost. Plants add a textural element to gardens with their tall, wispy form. Stems top out around 4 feet. Sow seed in early spring or fall, or plant seedlings after all danger of frost. Use as a backdrop to shorter flowers in beds and in butterfly or cottage gardens.
