Cleome ‘Cherry Queen’
Approx. 75 seeds.
A tall, dramatic annual that brings real movement and structure to summer borders. ‘Cherry Queen’ produces large, airy spheres of rose‑pink flowers, each topped with long, whiskery stamens that give the classic “spider flower” look. The plants stand strong and upright, adding height and a touch of tropical flair to the back of borders, island beds and cut‑flower patches.
Vigorous, architectural and surprisingly low‑maintenance once established, Cleome thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil. Bees and butterflies adore the nectar‑rich blooms, and the decorative seed pods extend interest long after flowering. Perfect for adding height, contrast and late‑summer drama to mixed plantings.
