Cleome Queen Mix Seeds – Pink, Violet & White Spider Flowers

Add height, movement and delicate color to your summer garden with Cleome Queen Mix seeds. Airy clusters of pink, violet and white flowers rise above bushy plants, while long, whisker-like stamens give this annual its familiar name: spider flower.

Picture a colorful backdrop behind shorter border flowers, with tall stems catching the light and butterflies visiting the blooms. This mix brings an informal, cottage-garden feel to sunny beds without requiring every flower to match.

Starting Seeds Indoors

Start in late winter or ahead of your local outdoor planting season, using clean seed-starting mix in trays or small pots. Press the seeds firmly onto the surface without covering deeply. Keep the mix lightly moist, not saturated, while waiting for germination.

Provide bright light once seedlings emerge. Germination timing and success vary with conditions; no fixed germination percentage is promised. Gradually acclimate young plants to outdoor sun and wind before transplanting after frost danger has passed.

Direct Sowing and Spacing

Sow directly in a prepared garden bed after frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. Press seeds into the soil surface and water gently to avoid washing them away. Thin or transplant seedlings approximately 15–18 inches apart.

Garden Care

Choose full sun and soil that drains well while retaining enough moisture for establishment. Water young plants regularly as roots develop, then adjust watering to rainfall and soil conditions. Avoid leaving the root area persistently waterlogged.

Allow room for the plants' bushy growth and tall flowering stems. Cleome can self-sow; remove developing seed pods before they release seed if you want to limit volunteer plants.

Growing in Containers

Use a large, stable container with drainage holes and quality potting mix. Give tall plants room to grow in full sun, keep containers from drying out completely, and allow excess water to drain. Feed according to the label of a fertilizer suitable for container flowers, and provide support if needed in exposed locations.

Ornamental use: These are flower seeds for planting, not vegetable seeds or an edible crop.
