Description: Spider flower (cleome hassleriana 'Queen's Mix') is a colorful and easy to manage flower that, planted once, will come back year after year PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: CLEOME / SPIDER PLANT SEEDSWHEN TO PLANT CLEOME: Cleome seeds are easy to start and low maintenance. They are an annual that is planted in the early spring to mid-summer. Cleomes, or Spider Plants, will bloom until the first frost. In a windy area, they may require staking; they are disease and insect free. Butterflies and hummingbirds love to feast on cleomes.WHERE TO PLANT CLEOME: Cleome seeds may be started indoors or outdoors. They grow best in full sun; seeds will germinate in 8 to 12 days if temperatures are 70 to 80F.HOW TO PLANT CLEOME: Seeds should be planted 1/8th inch deep and left uncovered. Space 3 inches between seeds, and space 18 inches between rows. Thin to 18 to 24 inches apart when plants are 3 inches tall. Cleome plants started indoors can be transplanted at 21 to 25 days.HOW TO CARE FOR CLEOME: For taller varieties, stake them to help support them and keep them from breaking. Make sure to thin out the plant once it reaches 6" or more. They can also be safely transplanted when they reach that height.HOW TO COLD STRATIFY SEEDSEveryone wants plants. Now. But there are a small group of seeds that require a special treatment before they will even germinate in a climate that has temperatures below freezing. This process is called “Cold Stratification.” There are two ways to accomplish this.Fall Planting: If time is not a problem, you can put them in the ground in fall and let them go through a winter. They will sprout next year, but not flower. The following year, having gone through two winters, they will return and bloom as expected.Create a "False Winter": The second way to do this, if you want to save time, is to create a “false winter.” What this does is trick the seeds into thinking they have been in the ground for an entire year. All they need is to be in your refrigerator for at least 2 ½ months. About 3 months before spring, place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened, clean peat, paper towel, or a mix of clean peat and sand.
