Common Questions
How long can cleomes live?
Cleomes are annual plants, lasting only one season. Once they wither in the fall, you can either plant new seeds immediately or wait until spring to sow seeds as soon as the ground is ready for planting.
What are alternatives to cleomes?
The informal nature of cleomes makes them a perfect fit for cottage gardens or natural meadows. Mix cleomes with zinnias, cosmos, black-eyed Susans, salvia, or celosia. These plants flourish in similar sunny conditions and moderate watering that cleomes prefer.
Can cleomes grow indoors?
It is possible to begin cleomes indoors and then move them to the garden. However, due to their tall growth and requirement for direct sunlight, it can be challenging to grow them successfully indoors.
My cleome plants have mildew and rust what is wrong?
Your plants are too crowded, thin the plants to avoid the problem.
Do I need to prune my cleome plants?
Yes, you should give your plants a light pruning. Snip off the dead or damaged areas during the growing season. Also, if your plants are spindly right before planting, prune them back by half to encourage new growth once they are planted in the ground.
