Cleome hassleriana is treated as Cleome houtteana. This annual has terminal flower clusters with long projecting stamens, producing the spider-like outline behind its common name.
Botanical characteristics
Its upright stature makes it a different seed subject from low edging annuals. Sun and well-drained soil suit it.
The structure behind the spider-like flower
Seed resellers can compare Cherry Queen, White Queen and Color Fountain mixture. The list separates named Queen references from a mixture, preserving more detail than a single “cleome mixed” label.
