Cleome, also called spider flower, is an annual with delicate foliage and dainty upright blooms in shades of pink, lavender and white. The plants grow from 1 1/2 to 5 feet tall, depending upon the variety. Regular pruning keeps cleome plants looking their best, promotes lush foliage and extends the bloom cycle.
