Description
Cleome Señorita Rosalita, often nicknamed spider flower, is a beautiful annual with an upright and bushy habit that brings rapid volume to summer flower beds and container compositions. Its stems, covered with finely cut leaves, are topped with clusters of pink flowers with shades of purple, lilac and violet. Abundant, light and delicate, they bloom from July to September, attracting butterflies. They enjoy the sun and heat, but also having their bases kept cool.
Cleomes are among the best-performing annuals for creating a dense and airy background. They have branching stems that reach up to 60-80 cm (23.6-31.5 in) in height and spread over 40 cm (15.7 in) wide. They thus form a beautiful, relatively compact, erect clump. The deciduous foliage is abundant and composed of dark green palmate leaves, with 5 to 7 lanceolate leaflets ending in a long tapering point. At the top of the stems, the clusters of flowers crown the whole plant. They are numerous, measuring 6-7 cm (2.4 - 2.8 in) and succeed each other throughout the summer to attract pollinators with a light fragrance. Each flower consists of four petals and has very long stamens, clearly protruding from the corolla. This particularity gives them a delicate and blurry appearance, very charming in romantic or wild-inspired settings. Señorita Rosalita also comes in very seductive shades: pink with violet reflections, between purple and lilac.
Belonging to the Capparaceae family, Cleome is a plant native to South America. It therefore prefers the sun and heat. However, it also adapts to less mild regions, as it also appreciates cool soils.
Cleome Señorita Rosalita is a welcome addition to small arrangements and containers, creating a verdant and flowery background. If you have large spaces, combine it with grasses, Cosmos and Dahlias; it will form beautiful, dense and colourful clumps. Thornless and not very demanding, it will appeal to busy beginners.
Note: Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered areas (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame... ) at a temperature above 14 °C (57.2 °F) for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once all risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care
Cleome Señorita Rosalita should be planted as soon as the sun has warmed up the soil. Place the plants directly in pots or containers to keep them warm (in a greenhouse or under a sunny shelter). Depending on your climate, you should transplant them into the ground from April or May onwards and remove the pots as soon as the risk of frost has passed and the days are less cool.
Plant in a sunny location in well-drained, loose and fertile soil. Remove faded flowers to extend the flowering period. Water during dry weather or mulch around the plants to maintain some moisture.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
