Fountain Blend Cleome (Spider Flower) Seeds

Tarenaya hassleriana

The large flower clusters, interesting seed pods, and striking palm-like leaves on tall plants add drama to any garden. Great for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. A wonderful, fragrant, cut flower in shades of white, pink, rose, and violet. Plants require little care and remain attractive even in heat, tolerate some drought, and often reseed to come back year after year.
