Description
Cleomes
aren't the most popular annuals sold at nurseries, and it might be because they
look rather weedy as young seedlings. Cleomes usually do not start
blooming until they are well established in the garden. Though they can be
planted in early spring, many gardeners opt for a late fall seed sowing
directly in garden soil.

Germination
Cleome plants are easy to start
in the garden from seed. Perhaps too easy because the plants can self-seed to
the point of being a nuisance. The seeds need light to germinate, so you can
just sprinkle them in the garden after the danger of frost is past and look for
seedlings after ten days. Alternatively, sow them in the autumn, and they will
germinate when conditions are just right in your garden the following growing
season.
If you do allow the plants to
self-seed, thin the newly emerging seedlings to allow at least 18 inches
between plants. This improves the vigor of individual plants, encouraging the
most blossoms from each plant. If you want to limit cleome’s self-seeding
habit, remove the long seed pods that form.
How to Get Cleomes to Bloom
Fortunately for the home gardener,
cleomes are quite easy plants to grow and maintain. A good watering habit will
help establish them; once established, they are drought-resistant and respond
well to pruning. Deadheading cleomes will encourage new growth while
preventing it from self-seeding, thus keeping the garden neater.
Cleome
Care
Averaging three to four feet in
height, cleomes provide a welcome tall focal point in the annual garden, where
compact bedding plants tend to rule. The pink, purple, white, and lavender
flowers do not emit a noticeable fragrance, yet hummingbirds, butterflies, and
hummingbird moths are drawn to these flowers all summer long.
Cleomes easily start from seed in
the garden and tend to be hearty from germination, growing quickly. Once
started, the plant seems to take care of itself. What is more, the upright
stalks need no staking if they are growing in full, bright sun. This plant
shrugs off pests and diseases.
Light
Cleome flowers grow best in full
sun, shady conditions can make them grow too tall and topple over. If you start
with transplants, blossoms will appear from early summer until the first frost.
Gardeners who grow cleome from seed usually see the first flowers in mid- to
late-June, depending on the climate.
Soil
Cleomes do best in average garden
soil or rich, well-drained garden loam.
Water
Once established, cleomes are
drought-tolerant. Add a three-inch layer of organic mulch to their planting
bed, and you will decrease their water needs even further.
Temperature and Humidity
For successful germination,
cleome seeds need higher-than-normal temperatures. Fluctuating day/night
temperatures are essential for optimum germination. During the day,
temperatures should range from 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit; nightly
temperatures should stay between 68 and 70 degress Fahrenheit. The humidity
should be from 90 to 100 percent. As the plant grows, the temperatures can be
lower, from 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 60 to 65 degrees
Fahrenheit at night. Cleomes are not frost-tolerant.
Fertilizer
If using good, well-drained soil
and mulch, no fertilizer is necessary.
