Cleome hassleriana
Some drama in our lives is good, especially in the flower border! Spider flower or Cleome (Cleome hassleriana) adds drama to your garden with its firework explosions of pink blooms, fascinating long stamens, and long bean-like seed pods that burst on touch when they are ripe. This tall, strange beauty is thankfully low maintenance and a beacon to butterflies and hummingbirds. Flowers buds keep opening until frost even as the seed pods form below.
Each year, the Hudson Valley Seed Company commissions contemporary artists from around the U.S. to tell the story of a particular seed variety, a unique way to celebrate seeds' diverse stories before you enjoy the harvest!
