Sow seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a light, moist potting mix and place seeds on the surface without covering them, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 28°C during the day and 20°C at night for optimum germination.
Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they have 2-3 true leaves. Place them in a bright location until transplanting outdoors after all risk of frost.
Plant cleomes in the ground in well-drained, rich soil in a sunny spot. Water regularly at first, but reduce watering once the plants are established, as they tolerate drought well.
Bring a touch of elegance and colour to your gardens with the cleome 'Sparkler™ 2.0 Blush F1'. Perfect for gardeners looking for a floriferous and easy-to-grow plant, it will delight both in flowerbeds and as a cut flower for your arrangements.
