'Lavender Dreams' Cleome is a heat-loving annual that brings airy texture and vibrant color to the garden all season long. Featuring soft lavender-pink blooms perched atop tall, elegant stems, this pollinator favorite creates a striking display in garden beds, borders, and containers. Its open, spider-like flowers attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds while adding movement and a whimsical cottage-garden feel to the landscape.
Thriving in full sun and summer heat, Lavender Dreams Cleome is drought tolerant once established and blooms continuously from late spring through fall with minimal maintenance. Deer tend to avoid it, making it a reliable choice for colorful, low-maintenance seasonal plantings.
